Quiz-Allopatric speciation Name: Students 17/03/2025 1. What is allopatric speciation? [ ] A process where populations merge and share gene pools [ ] A form of genetic mutation [ ] A process where populations evolve independently due to isolation [ ] The formation of new species without physical barriers 2. Which of the following can lead to allopatric speciation? [ ] Decrease in genetic drift [ ] Increased gene flow [ ] Uniform environment [ ] Formation of mountains 3. What role does isolation play in allopatric speciation? [ ] Prevents gene flow between populations [ ] Increases gene flow [ ] Decreases genetic diversity [ ] Eliminates natural selection 4. Which factor is NOT involved in allopatric speciation? [ ] Genetic drift [ ] Physical barriers [ ] Natural selection 1 [ ] Gene flow 5. What can result from allopatric speciation over time? [ ] Reduced biodiversity [ ] Distinct species with unique adaptations [ ] Oldentical species [ ] Increased gene flow 6. How do geological events contribute to allopatric speciation? [ ] By increasing genetic diversity [ ] By creating barriers that prevent gene flow [ ] By merging populations [ ] By eliminating natural selection 7. What is a key outcome of allopatric speciation? [ ] Uniform species [ ] Gene pool merging [ ] Biodiversity generation. [ ] Population decrease 8. Which of the following is an example of a physical barrier? [ ] A common language [ ] A shared habitat [ ] A similar diet [ ] A mountain range 2
