    C) Each species is reproductively isolated from every other species

    D) Gene flow does not occur between the populations of a species

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Gene flow means the spread of genes through populations as affected by movements of individual and their propagules e.g., Spores, seeds etc. Gene flow ensures that all populations of a given species share a common gene pool i.e., it reduces difference between populations. The interruption of gene flow between populations is a pre-requisite for the formation of new species.
