  1. 1. when a population of organisms in a species becomes genetically isolated from the rest of the species and develops different mutations, causing them to begin evolving into a separate species
  2. 2. the transfer of alleles from one population to another
  3. 3. random changes in the frequency of characteristics in a gene pool
  4. 6. the type of selection when intentional breeding of organisms, such as animals and plants, to produce offspring with desirable traits
