Males of different species of the fruit fly Drosophila that live in the same parts of the Hawaiian Islands have different elaborate courtship rituals. These rituals involve fighting other males and making stylized movements that attract females. What type of reproductive isolation does this represent?

(A) habitat isolation

(B) temporal isolation

(C) behavioral isolation

(D) gametic isolation.

Drosophila falls under the category of a holometabolous insect. They possess various characteristic features such as a round head, large and red-colored compound eyes.

They also possess short antennae and three smaller simple eyes. It is acknowledged that the size of the femaleDrosophila is somewhat larger than the male Drosophila.

Habitat isolation happens when habitat inclinations reduce the possibility of reproducing amongst individuals connected with different habitats. In this form of isolation, there are no rituals of fighting with other males to attract females.

Thus, the term habitat isolation refers to the state when two species could not interbreed due to the species living in diverse areas.

Therefore, the given term is false.

Temporal isolation falls under the category of reproductive isolation. Temporal isolation occurs when two or more species get involved in the process of reproduction at various times.

Thus, temporal isolation indicates the state of reproduction at diverse times.

Therefore, the given term is false.

Behavioral isolation falls under the category of the prezygotic barrier. This form of isolation stops breeding amongst closely interrelated species. The reason is that there is no companion acknowledgment amongst females and males of the diverse species

Thus, behavioral isolation stops breeding amongst closely interrelated species.

Therefore, the given term is true.

Gametic isolation also falls under the category of the prezygotic barrier. In this form of isolation, the gametes like egg and sperm exhibit their contact, but fertilization does not occur.

Thus, the gametic isolation does not indicate the rituals of fighting with other males for attracting females.

Therefore, the given term is false.
