The phosphodiester bonds of the polynucleotide backbone in DNA would be broken.

The phosphate of one nucleotide is covalently bound to the sugar of the next nucleotide in DNA molecule (or hydroxyl groups in phosphoric acid react with hydroxyl groups on 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule (deoxyribose) and the 5' carbon atom of another sugar molecule (deoxyribose) to form two ester bonds).

Hydrolysis of phosphodiester bonds is catalyzed by the action of enzymes phosphodiesterases.

Stells [14]

If they remain isolated for a long period of time, the two groups will probably diverge genetically, and may result in speciation.

Genetic divergence is the process whereby two groups of the same ancestral species acquire autonomous genetic changes through time, usually after the groups have been separated reproductively for some period of time.

Speciation is an evolutionary process whereby populations develop to become different species.
