0 science ... What is meant by geographical isolation and mutation

Answer 1

Geographic isolation is a term that refers to a population of animals, plants, or other organisms that are separated from exchanging genetic material with other organisms of the same species. Typically geographic isolation is the result of an accident or coincidence.

When this happens, populations of organisms can become isolated. Geographic isolation is the separation of a population of organisms from the rest of its species due to some physical barrier, such as a mountain range or an ocean.
