Use this tree to answer the following question. The two species from Panama are separated from one another by the Isthmus of Panama, the narrow land bridge connecting North and South America, which formed approximately 2.5 million years ago. If sea levels rise and the Isthmus of Panama is submerged, allowing the Pacific and Caribbean species to expand their ranges until they overlap, will there be gene flow between the Pacific and Caribbean species currently living on either side of the isthmus? O No, because these species have been separated long enough that they are now different species, incapable of reproducing and having viable offspring.
