Evolution is change in a population over time and includes the gene pools of that population. How does biogeographic isolation allow for the change of gene pools over time?
Biogeographic isolation affects the random changes that take place within gene pools.
Biogeographic isolation causes changes in gene pools that result from populations being separated.

Biogeographic isolation causes changes in gene pools that result from populations being separated.

Explanation: geographic isolation prevents gene flow between groups, so mutation, genetic drift (including founder effects), and natural selection act independently in each population, causing their allele frequencies (gene pools) to diverge over time.
