A species is a group of organisms capable of mating and producing offspring, and speciation is the process of forming a new species.

One way a new species may form is by geographic isolation. This occurs when members of a population are physically separated, for example, by a river, or a desert.

After the separation the two populations, responding to different conditions, will adapt differently, and so their evolutionary paths will
A) converge.
B) dissect.
C) diverge.
D) reverse.
