A flash flood carried a raft of Amazon ants away from their original population. There is enough distance between the two groups, that they will never meet in nature again. What type of reproductive barrier is this?

• behavioral isolation
• temporal isolation 
• gametic isolation
• geographic isolation

When has speciation occurred?

• When populations no longer look the same
• When populations no longer have the same frequency of alleles
