Answer:

The correct answer is D) domain

Explanation:

The father of taxonomy is Linnaeus. Taxonomy helps in classify and naming organisms. The modern taxonomy has eight levels of classification. Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Domain is the highest level of classification so it is the largest category that would include closely related species. When we go from domain towards species the number of similarities increase and number of organism decrease and vice versa is true when we move from species to domain. So the right answer is domain.

Which of the following can occur to two segments of a population if they are geographically isolated
lbvjy [14]

The correct answer is 4.) Eventually they become separate species

A process of formation of a new species from an existing species is called speciation.

When a single species changed into two or more separate species, is called speciation. Speciation can take place due to reproductive isolation.  In reproductive isolation, the separated species no longer can interbreed among themselves. This is happened due to mating differences, sterility or environmental barriers which finally results into the adaptive splitting into two species.
