C) Reproductive isolation
D) Microevolution

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reproductive isolation refers to the barriers that prevent individuals of different species (or even populations within a species) from producing viable offspring. In this case, the members of a given group of organisms are prevented from mating with organisms outside their group, leading to reproductive isolation. Monogamy and gene flow are not necessarily related to this specific scenario, and microevolution refers to changes in allele frequencies over time, which may or may not be related to reproductive isolation.
