Answer:
A. It allows two populations to evolve separately.
Explanation:
Geographic isolation is theorized to have catalyzed the formation of new species. Let’s say groups A and B of a bird species get separated by something, and they can’t cross between to interbreed or exchange alleles.
We describe this as no gene flow, which is the opposite of choices C and D. Because of this, they may diverge if given enough time due to the difference in environmental pressures, because they’re now in different environments.
B is incorrect because it doesn’t apply.

Answer:
1/8
Explanation:
Given that the trihybrid parents have AaBbCc genotype for fruit color. The trait is a quantitative trait i.e. each dominant allele will have an additive effect on it. In this case, AaBbCc and AABBCC will not produce same fruit color because AaBbCc has only three loci contributing to the color while in AABBCC all the six loci are contributing to the color. For an offspring to be exactly similar to the AaBbCc parents it should have the same genotype of AaBbCc.
The probability of Aa to come from a cross between Aa and Aa is 2/4 or 1/2
The probability of Bb to come from a cross between Bb and Bb is 2/4 or 1/2
The probability of Cc to come from a cross between Cc and Cc is 2/4 or 1/2
So the collective probability of AaBbCc offspring from a cross between AaBbCc and AaBbCc parents would be=
1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8
Hence, assuming no effects of the environment, 1/8 of the offspring will have the same fruit color phenotype as the trihybrid parent.
