→ Darwin believed that the need to adapt, in similar words, the changes occruing in the environment caused evolution.

The main cause of evolution, according to Darwin, was natural selection. Natural selection is a process in which a group of organisms with certain characteristics survive and thrive, in comparison to other organisms with different characteristics. This idea basically means that having some characteristics makes you suited for an environment.

And how would that ↑ explain Evolution?

Well, evolution is the change in species that occurs during time. But for you to change, there must be a cause for that change, which is none other than the need to survive, reproduce, etc.

→ As mentioned before, not all characteristics are enough to surive, and hopefully the image pasted below will help you.

Hope it helped,

Matings between individuals from the two populations of Rhagoletis produce hybrid flies that appear to be healthy and have norma

Mama L [17]

<h2>The correct answer is : C.</h2>

Explanation:

According to the question, mating between two populations of Rhagoletis produce hybrid flies.
This means that the two population is present in the same habitat or locality, hence they are capable of coming in contact with each other and mate. Hence, the answer cannot be Habitat Isolation.
Mating produces hybrid flies. This is possible when the gametes (egg and sperm) of the two different populations are capable of capable of coming close to each other and undergoing fusion (fertilization). Hence, there is no Mechanical Isolation.
The zygote formed by the above fertilization is capable of developing into healthy hybrid flies with normal life span. Hence, Pre-zygotic Isolation is absent.
But the hybrid flies formed are sterile and not fertile, that is, they are incapable of producing viable gametes which can undergo fertilization and produce a new offspring.Therefore, the eggs laid by the hybrid flies hatch less often. Hence, there is existence of Reduced hybrid fertility.
