A scientist makes the argument that two species of butterflies should be considered the same species because they have similar DNA, similar wing length, and similar migration patterns. The butterflies also have variations in color patterns and different mating seasons.

Which piece of evidence would most go against the scientist’s argument and suggest that the butterflies are actually different species?
A) The butterflies have similar wing structure.
B) The butterflies have different mating seasons.
C) The butterflies have similar migration patterns.
D) The butterflies have variations in color patterns.

Respuesta :

B is correct for e2020

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be option B.

Species refers to the group of organisms which have similar features and which are able to interbreed to produce a viable and fertile offspring.

Reproductive isolation prevents interbreeding between members of different species. It includes a collection of behavioral, evolutionary, and physiological processes.

Different breeding seasons is a type of pre-zygotic reproductive isolation which prevents breeding between organisms of two species of butterflies.

Thus, the two groups of butterflies belong to different species.
