What is true about the isolated small tribal populations?
| 1. | There is no change in population size as they have a large gene pool. |
| 2. | There is a decline in population as boys marry girls only from their own tribe. |
| 3. | Hereditary diseases like color blindness do not spread in the isolated population. |
| 4. | Wrestlers who develop strong body muscles in their lifetime pass this character on to their progeny. |
In allopatric speciation, reproductive isolation is initially caused by:
| 1. | behavioral barriers | 2. | postzygotic barriers |
| 3. | geographic barriers | 4. | ecological barriers |
The occurrence of endemic species in South America and Australia is because:
| 1. | these species have been extinct in other regions |
| 2. | of continental separation |
| 3. | there is no terrestrial route to these places |
| 4. | of retrogressive evolution |

Speciation that occurs when biological populations of the same species become isolated from each other to an extent that prevents or interferes with gene flow is called as:
| 1. | parapatric speciation | 2. | cladogenesis |
| 3. | allopatric speciation | 4. | anagenesis |
