A population of wildflowers is separated by an eight-lane superhighway. Pollen is often carried by the wind across the highway and can pollinate the flowers on the other side of the highway. Can speciation occur in this situation

Answer :

No reproductive isolation

Explanation:

  • No speciation will occur in the given situation because species are not reproductively isolated; for reproductive isolation to occur there should be external or internal barrier
  • Here in this situation flowers are not isolated from each other they are just present on the same land separated by a highway
  • Wind is acting as an agent which is helping in pollination so there is no chance of formation of new species (speciation)

Answer:

A

Explanation:

No, because the populations are not reproductively isolated.
