Question

When individuals of the same species are reproductively isolated, genetic differences may accumulate in sufficient number so that new species could emerge. Such an event would be an example of:a. microevolution.b. founder effect.c. equilibrium.d. macroevolution.

Answer 1

Answer:

The founder effect

Explanation:

The founder effect is a special case of genetic drift, occurring when a small group in a population splinters off from the original population and forms a new one. The accumulation of modifications, that generally are caused by mutations, and the persistence of those changes through heredity mechanisms could make the ingredients of a new species.
