A control group in an experiment is a group separated from the rest of the experiment (for example, there is no use of treatment on that group). It is a group where the independent variable being tested cannot influence the results. There are two types of control groups: positive and negative.

Positive- the conditions of the experiment are set to give a positive result

Negative- the conditions of the experiment are set to give a negative outcome.

Why does geographic isolation cause speciation?
zimovet [89]

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.
