Q

how can two isolated populations of the same species become different species

A

random mutations take place that aid survival more than others

these inderviduals are more likely to reproduce and survive

causing the proportion of inderviduals with this mutation to change and increase over time

over time these populations become genetically different from the others and become reproductively isolated from eachother
