As they adapt to their specific environments, the fitness of any hybrid formed is reduced. The populations adapt to their environment in the part of the range where they live. Interbreeding populations connected via gene flow occur across a range. Reproductive isolating mechanisms are selected for so that less fit hybrids are not formed. Two species now exist.arrow_forwardCan you answer all the parts to this diagram Species 1 and 2 are sister species from which you’ve cloned related genes.
