Question:

_____ isolation occurs when two species occupy different habitats within the same geographical range.

Answer:

Habitat

Step-by-step explanation:

Habitat isolation occurs when individuals in two populations are separated geographically. For example by a river or a mountain range. These organisms are much less likely to interact with each other and attempt to reproduce.

Habitat isolation is a barrier to gene flow (mixing of genes in two populations) and is a mechanism of speciation.
