Answer:

Species separated by a physical barrier for a long time, suffer allopatric speciation, so they can not interbreed anymore.

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation consists of the geographic separation of a continuous genetic background giving place to two or more new geographically isolated populations. These separations might be due to migration, extinction of geographically intermediate populations, or geological events. In this speciation, some barriers impede genetic interchange, or genetic flow, as the two new populations that are separated can not get together and mate anymore. These barriers might be geographical or ecological.

Vicariance is the geographical separation of an original population into two or more new groups. Discontinuities in the physical environment like rivers, mountains, water, etc., are physical barriers that impede genetic flow between the separated groups.

The process of allopatric speciation involves different steps:  

  1. The emergence of the barrier.  
  2. Interruption in the genetic interchange
  3. The occurrence of new mutations and their accumulation in time in each population. Slow and gradual differentiation.
  4. Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation makes it impossible for the two groups to mate even if the barrier disappears.  
  5. Prezigotic isolation mechanisms favored by selection once occurs a secondary contact between the new species in formation.

Which type of movement has the greatest need for thoracic mobility?
Arte-miy333 [17]
Rotational movements need the most thoracic mobility. This is because a rotational movement (such as twisting) because the movements are more three dimensional, and this is where the most can go wrong. For example, if you were holding a 35lb child and simply bent forward to put him/her down, this is less likely to cause injury than if you were to twist your torso to the right and put the child down. There is a lot more spinal stability and mobility needed for the second motion than the first.
