Correct answer:
founding population arrives → biogeographic isolation occurs → genetic changes occur → reproductive isolation results

Explanation: A founding population must first arrive and become geographically isolated (preventing gene flow). Then genetic differences accumulate (mutation, drift, selection), and over time those changes produce reproductive isolation (speciation).
