Answer:

Gene flow will be restricted

Gene drift will be higher than in larger populations

Extinction rate will be increased due to the reduction in genetic diversity

Explanation:

Gene flow is defined as the transference of genetic material among populations. In isolated populations, the gene low is null and thereby they have different allelic frequencies, while populations that share genetic material tend to have the same allelic frequencies.

Genetic drift is the change in the allelic frequencies in a population as a result of random sampling. In small populations such as those living in parcels, the genetic drift is higher than in larger populations.

Extinction is the continuous declination in the number of organisms of a particular group (for example, a population or a species), that inevitably leads to the disappearance of this group. In small populations, the likelihood of extinction will be higher than in larger populations, due to the lesser genetic variation and higher genetic drift.

How do cells know that there is something wrong with the DNA?
sveta [45]
The short answer is that cells respond to the chemical environment in which they find themselves. The cells around them, the specific conditions, and feedback from the environment all create specific chemical cues that inform the cells to which genes should be expressed, and in what amounts. Chemicals include hormones, cytokines, general signaling molecules, such as cAMP, etc.

White raven [17]

Answer:

This is allopatric speciation. The organisms were separated from each other by the containers. The separation caused them to evolve to the point that they were more likely to mate with each other than with a member of another tank.
