Hey friend,

Statement: which is most likely to happen to a population that becomes anatomically isolated from the rest of its species

Answer: B- the population will become a separate species over time

Step-by-step explanation: They wont be able to learn and expand their knowledge. Their species have chance of extinction. Unaware of social different and a degree of cultural, religious and ethnic intolerance. Lack of vision in terms of other species and how socialize with them or interact with them. They would have no chance to improve or intermingle their genetic material and produce various genomes.

I hope that you like the answer.

Thanks for your question.

B. This isolated population will have its own separate gene pool and adapt to the environment they live in through the process of natural selection. Make note that this will take a VERY long time, as evolution depends on random mutations and their effectiveness.
