Question

A population of birds lives on a small island. Another population of the same species lives on the mainland.

Answer 1

An increase in gene flow between the birds population.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on this information it can be said that this formation between the islands and the mainlands will most likely cause an increase in gene flow between the bird populations. Since the islands and the mainland are now connected birds from both these two different habitats will begin mating and producing progeny, thus causing gene flow to increase between these species.
