Question

Consider two isolated populations of lady slipper orchids. These populations are hundreds of miles apart; one is in Northern Minnesota and the other is in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. They are so far apart that pollinators cannot possibly transfer pollen between the two populations. Based on this information, you expect there to be _________________ between these two populations.

Answer 1

Answer:

NO genetic flow

Explanation:

Because the two populations are isolated so that individuals from different populations fail to reproduce between them - i.e. pollinators cannot possibly transfer pollen between the two populations- it is expected that there will be no gene flow between populations.
