Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which lists the correct sequence of events for evolution to occur through isolation?
A
founding population arrives, biogeographic isolation occurs, genetic changes occur, reproductive isolation results
B
genetic changes occur, founding population arrives, reproductive isolation results, biogeographic isolation occurs
C
biogeographic isolation occurs, founding population arrives, genetic changes occur, reproductive isolation results
D
founding population arrives, genetic changes occur, biogeographic isolation occurs, reproductive isolation results
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct sequence of events for evolution to occur through isolation is: founding population arrives, biogeographic isolation occurs, genetic changes occur, reproductive isolation results. Evolution is a natural phenomenon of natural selection.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are four major variants of speciation: allopatric, peripatric, parapatric, and sympatric. Speciation is how a new kind of plant or animal species is created.

Detailed explanation-3: -Speciation is the process by which new species form. It occurs when groups in a species become reproductively isolated and diverge. In allopatric speciation, groups from an ancestral population evolve into separate species due to a period of geographical separation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Of the following options reproductive isolation must occur for speciation to happen. geographic isolation alone will not result in speciation, but geographic isolation can eventually lead to reproductive isolation which is necessary for speciation.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, the correct sequence is : Formation of monomeric units
