Uneducated Opinion Here: I’d say that it’s possible, but the odds are gonna be extra stacked against them.

-How prepared are they – food, shelter, water

-Inbreeding issues

-Death of one of the two before conception of two opposite sexes-accidental, carnivores

-One being infertile/sterile

-Low population = greater risk of being wiped out by catastrophes-flood, earthquake, landslide, tornado, hurricane, volcanic eruption, disease, famine

Can it be done? Sure. It’s possible, but not likely.
