  4. What factor(s) might act to increase genetic divergence between the two populations?

If the small and large populations are subject to different environments, natural selection will select for (and against) different traits in each population. This is called differential selection and will increase genetic divergence between the two populations. Different mutations in each of the small and large populations will also increase genetic  divergence between the two populations.
