Causes of speciation
<span>Geographic isolation
In the fruit fly example, some fruit fly larvae were washed up on an island, and speciation started because populations were prevented from interbreeding by geographic isolation. Scientists think that geographic isolation is a common way for the process of speciation to begin: rivers change course, mountains rise, continents drift, organisms migrate, and what was once a continuous population is divided into two or more smaller populations.
</span>Reduction of gene flow
<span>However, speciation might also happen in a population with no specific extrinsic barrier to gene flow. Imagine a situation in which a population extends over a broad geographic range, and mating throughout the population is not random. Individuals in the far west would have zero chance of mating with individuals in the far eastern end of the range. So we have reduced gene flow, but not total isolation. This may or may not be sufficient to cause speciation. Speciation would probably also require different selective pressures at opposite ends of the range, which would alter gene frequencies in groups at different ends of the range so much that they would not be able to mate if they were reunited.</span>

The answer should be allele(s).
Alleles are alternative forms of genes. For example in eye color, there is brown eye allele that produces brown eyes or blue eye alleles that produces blue eyes.
However, note that there may be dominant or recessive alleles. Dominant alleles are always expressed, meanwhile, recessive allele is only expressed when there is no dominant allele existing.
An example is let say brown eye allele is dominant and blue eye allele is recessive. The eye gene is controlled by 2 alleles. If I had one brown eye allele and 1 blue, my eyes will be brown, because brown eye allele is dominant.
