Isolation is related to the latin word insula, meaning island. After reading about isolating mechanisms in this lesson, does the common origin of these two words make sense

The correct answer is "Yes".

Explanation:

The lesson about isolating mechanism referred in the question belongs to 17.3 lesson "The Process of Speciation". This lesson deals with the isolating mechanisms that leads to the formation of new species, including: behavioral, geographic and temporal isolation. All these mechanisms cause that members of the same species got separated and have to live by their own, just like people that got lost in a virgin island.
