Answer question 1
### Question 1

**Explain the process of allopatric speciation in your own words.** In your answer, use all of the following terms:

- gene flow
- mutation
- genetic drift
- natural selection
- non-random mating (choose a particular type)

### Question 2

Northern elephant seals (*Mirounga angustirostris*) were hunted to near extinction in the 1890s, with the population reduced to an estimated 20 to 30 individuals. Southern elephant seals (*Mirounga leonina*) have also been affected by human hunting, but populations of this species were not decimated to the extent that they were for the northern species. Genetic variation was examined for these two species.
