Answer:

The answer is A - The populations will not be able to interbreed because they are different species and different species cannot interbreed

Explanation:

The population of birds become reproductively isolated because they are different species and different species are unable to interbreed. This is as a result of barriers which are called mechanisms of reproductive isolation which involves mechanisms, behaviors and processes that are critical for speciation. In reproductive isolation the different species are able to live in the same are but their properties and characteristics do not allow them interbreed to produce healthy and sterile offspring.

The Monterey pine and the Bishop's pine inhabit some of the same areas of central California. The Monterey pine releases pollen
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The Monterey pine and the Bishop's pine inhabit some of the same areas of central California. The Monterey pine releases pollen in February, while the Bishop's pine does so in April. This is an example of <u>temporal</u> isolation.

Explanation:

Temporal isolation is a form of reproductive isolation in which two or more species reproduce at two separate times.

<u>For example:</u> Northern america leapord frog mates in April and North America Bullfrog mates in july.

As in the given scenario, reproductive isolation is occuring in which two species (Monterey pine and Bishop's pine) are reproducing (producing pollens) at two separate times(February and April). Hence it is an example of temporal isolation.
