Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Long term hunting has led to following  

a) Reduction in population size and hence the gene pool

b) Causation of Bottleneck effect

Due to above factors, the remaining population of Northern elephant seals does not represent the original genetic problem.  

Due to this restriction in mating and genetic variation shall prevail pertaining to reduced gene pool.  

Due to continuous hunting, the gene pool will further shrink, leading to genetic similarity among the organism

Option C is correct

6. species Closely related of orchids never mate in the wild because they bloom at different times. This is an example of ______
Dimas [21]

Answer:

temporal reproductive isolation

Explanation:

The correct answer would be temporal reproductive isolation.

<u>Reproductive isolation</u> generally refers to series of biological mechanisms or processes that prevent members of different species from mating/fertilization or prevent the product of their mating to be invalid.

Some reproductive isolation processes prevent members of different species from mating or prevent fertilization as a result of mating. These processes are known as pre-zygotic reproductive isolation mechanisms.

Some other processes ensure that the product of fertilization (when it occurs) is invalid. These are known as post-zygotic isolation mechanisms.

<em>A good example of the pre-zygotic reproductive isolation process is </em><em>when closely related by different species bloom at different times</em><em>. This will prevent mating or cross-pollination to happen between the different species. This is known as temporal reproductive isolation.</em>
