Isolation results in speciation through many evolutionary factors. There are four main types of isolation mechanisms: geographical, anatomical, temporal, and behavioral. Geographical isolation occurs due to physical boundaries, such as mountain ranges or rivers. Anatomical isolation occurs when species cannot physically mate or their offspring cannot survive/infertile, for their genitalia/gametes are not compatible. Temporal isolation occurs when species do not interbreed because they breed at different times. Behavioral isolation occurs when there is a difference in courtship or other behavior prevents mating. Biogeographical isolation is a mechanisms for evolution. A single species can evolve into several different species. Species evolve in order to fill a unique niche, the role an organism plays in the environment in which it lives.

Distinguish between directional, stabilizing, and disruptive selection. Give examples.

Pepsi [2]

Distribution of phenotypes within a population may be impacted by different types of natural selection. These types of selection include;
Directional selection involves a change in the environment shifts of phenotypes observed. Example is the giraffe neck-length, where the length got longer and longer over time to reach the leaves at the top of trees.
Stabilizing selection , this is a selection where an average phenotype is favored. example is number of eggs laid by birds such that too many eggs will be a waste of energy because some chicks would starve.
Disruptive selection is a selection where individuals with an average value of a trait are affected most while those with values below average are affected least. Example small individuals are capable of hiding from predators while big individuals can not fit in the hiding place but instead will fight with predators.
