2) A population of animals is permanently split by a natural barrier into two separate populations in different environments. What will likely result after a long period of time? A) The evolution of the two populations will be identical. B) The production of variations will stop in the two populations. C) The two populations will evolve into separate species. D) Autotrophic nutrition will replace heterotrophic nutrition in the two populations.

Respuesta :

Answer:

C) The two populations will evolve into separate species.

Explanation:

In the given question, the population of animals has been split into two different populations due to a natural barrier present between them.

When we will observe these species after a very long time, the species will not be able to reproduce with each other and will be reproductively isolated.  This reproductive isolation will lead to the formation of new species but belonging to the same genus.

Thus, Option-C is correct.
