The correct answer is option C, that is, behavioral isolation.  

The phenomenon of behavioral isolation takes place when two populations possess the tendency of interbreeding, but exhibit distinctions in courtship rituals or other kinds of behavior. For example, the western and eastern meadowlarks are very identical birds whose habitat overlap in the middle of the United States.  

However, the members of the two species will not mate with each other, possibly as they use different songs in order to fascinate males. The eastern meadowlarks will not respond to the songs of western meadowlarks, and vice versa.

Answer:

The answer is C) Behavioral Isolation

Explanation:

Behavioral isolation occurs when two populations are capable of interbreeding, but they have different behaviors that prevent them from breeding. In this case, the difference in mating songs caused behavioral isolation which led to speciation.

What do greenhouse gases do to the warmth from the sun that is reflected back
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth.

masha68 [24]
The answer is D, for when one tropic level is eaten by the tropic level above it, the tropic level is supporting the higher one. I. E. Rabbits are supported by the grass because rabbits eat the grass. Also, the grass population would be larger than rabbits, the rabbits larger than snakes, so on and so forth, so B is ruled out. B states that each population is larger than the one BEFORE it, but there is no way there would be more rabbits than grass. Also, there are both herbivores and carnivores in the food chain, so A and C are out. The best answer is D.
