Answer 1

founding population

biogeographic isolation

genetic changes (mutations)

reproductive isolation

Answer 2

Speciation. Speciation is the evolutionary process by which biological populations evolve to become distinct species. The biologist Orator F. Cook coined the term 'speciation' in 1906 for the splitting of lineages or "cladogenesis", as opposed to "anagenesis" or "phyleticevolution" within lineages.
