Speciation Simulation

Question 1 of 4

What did the simulation demonstrate about the rate at which geographically isolated subsets of a population become reproductively incompatible?

The rate increases as the distance separating the two subsets increases.

The rate increases as the rate of genetic change increases in both subsets.

The rate increases as the extent of geographic barriers separating the two subsets increases.

The rate increases as negative selective pressures decrease in both subsets.
