Kassandra Schaefer · Answer 1

Answer: separate species

Explanation:

When two populations become geographically isolated, they become unable to interbreed. Hence, gene flow among them becomes uneven resulting in the emergence of new offspring with unique genetic composition different from the parents.

Thus, they are considered seperate (allopatric) species
