Put the following stages of allopatric speciation in a terrestrial beetle population in the correct order. i. Mutation, drift, and selection act separately on the two subpopulations, and they become increasingly divergent. ii. A river dries up, and the population has continuous geographic range with reproductive barriers that reduce gene flow between certain individuals. iii. A river physically divides the population into two subpopulations. iv. The population has continuous geographic range with some genetic variation.

1.) When a population is split by a physical barrier such as a mountain range, interrupting gene flow: a) they can accumulate genetic differences while separated. b) they will evolve wings to fly over the mountains. c) they will become new species. d) they can evolve into new species over time. 2.) In allopatric speciation: a) populations do not exchange genetic information. b) populations can become reproductively isolated. c) populations are separated by some physical barrier. d) new species arise from within a population with no physical barriers to gene flow.

Due to recent human developments, part of a river has diverted, and in doing so, has split a population of chinchillas into two. Over time, the population of chinchillas on the east side of the river develops into a separate species from the population on the west side. Based on the details of what happened to the chinchillas, what occurred in this example?
