Natural selection:
All populations respond to changes in their environment. Individuals will
respond in different ways depending on their genes. Those individuals whose
genes are best suited to the environment are more likely to survive and pass
on their genes to the next generation. This is natural selection. Gradually,
favourable genes will start to predominate in the population and less
favourable genes will decline.
Genetic drift:
It is caused by drastic changes in the frequencies of particular genes by
chance alone. Genetic drift with changes in the gene flow imposed by
isolation mechanism acts as an agent of speciation which ultimately results in
evolution.
Geographical isolation:
Geographical isolation is caused by various types of barriers such as
mountain ranges, rivers and seas. It leads to reproductive isolation due to
which there is no flow of genes between separated groups of population
which ultimately results in speciation.
