1. The correction option is false. This is because, reproductive isolation is the one that is considered as the last stage in speciation.

2. Geographic isolation. The correct option is B.

Savannah · Answer 2

1. False

Speciation is the formation of new species from a population of species. This process has three main stages: isolation, where the population is separated; adaptation, where the isolated population adapts to the new environment; and reproductive isolation, where the two populations can no longer breed to produce fertile offspring.

2. Behavioral isolation

This occurs when there is a difference in mating rituals or other behaviors which prevent interbreeding.
