Answer:

speciation occurs

Explanation:

When some organisms from an original population colonize a new habitat and become geographically isolated from the source population, the accumulation of genetic variations leads to reproductive isolation of these two populations.

Over generations, the isolated populations evolve into two separate species as they are unable to interbreed when allowed to do so.

The geographical isolation of two populations of a species followed by the accumulation of genetic variations leads to allopatric speciation.

Prokaryotes differ from eukaryotes in terms of cell complexity.

<h3>Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes</h3>

Prokaryotes refer to living organisms whose bodies are made from prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotes, on the other hand, are organisms made from eukaryotic cells.

Prokaryotes differ from eukaryotes in the following ways:

  • Prokaryotes lack a nucleus while eukaryote organisms have one or more nuclei. The genetic materials of prokaryotes are arranged as nucleoids and lie freely within the cytoplasm.
  • In terms of size, prokaryotic cells range from 0.1 to 5 micrometers. Eukaryotic cells range from 10 to 100 micrometers.
  • Prokaryotic cells usually have cell walls. Some eukaryotic cells have cell walls, while some do not.
  • The ribosome size of prokaryotes is around 20 nm while that of eukaryotes varies from 25 nm to 30 nm.
  • In terms of evolutionary advancement, eukaryotes are more advanced than prokaryotes.
