Multiple Choice New species arise when a. a portion of the population becomes isolated from the remainder of the population and
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

a. a portion of the population becomes isolated from the remainder of the population and experiences different selective pressures

Explanation:

This is an example of allopatric speciation Allopatric speciation is a form of speciation (formation of new species) that occurs as a result of geographic isolation. This means that a part of population becomes physically separated from the initial main population. There is no gene flow between these two populations and as a result the two populations  reach a high level  of genetic divergence. They can no longer interbreed which means they become two different species (speciation).

New populations evolve as result of mutation, genetic drift and natural selection.

For example, Galapagos finches are isolated from others by the ocean (geographic isolation).  Because of the isolation, the finches don’t breed with one another. So, they developed unique characteristics and became endemic.

Explain how an organism's ability to survive and reproduce can affect the entire population
inn [45]

Answer:

The organism will pass on the traits to their offspring. If the offspring also has an increased chance of survival it will have a higher chance of passing on the traits. Over a long period of time the entire population can inherit this trait.

Explanation:

According to the theory of natural selection organisms with beneficial traits are more likely to survive to the reproductive stage and pass on the beneficial gene to their offspring. <em>Natural selection selects beneficial traits.</em>
