Genetic recombination
Genetic recombination refers to the random mixing of parental genes during meiosis and fertilization, creating genetically unique offspring.
Mutation

Reproductive isolation
Reproductive isolation is the prevention of gene flow between populations due to physical, ecological, or behavioral barriers.
