The biological species concept emphasizes reproductive isolation B. prezygotic and postzygotic barriers isolate the gene pools of biological species C. The biological species concept does not work in all situations D. Other species concepts emphasize features and processes that identiff and unite species members II. Modes of SPeciation A. Geographical isolation can lead to the origin of species: allopatric speciation B. A new species can originate in the geographical midst of the parent species: sympatric sPeciation c.
