Question

multiple choice question the diversification of drosophila species in the originally vacant niches and frequently isolated habitat patches of the hawaiian islands is an example of which of the following? behavioral isolation gene flow reinforcement adaptive radiation

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation is when a single ancestral species diversifies into many different species to fill various ecological niches. In the Hawaiian Islands, Drosophila species diversified in originally vacant niches and isolated habitats, which is a classic example of adaptive radiation. Behavioral isolation is about differences in behavior preventing mating. Gene - flow is the transfer of genetic material between populations. Reinforcement is the strengthening of reproductive barriers.

Answer:

Adaptive radiation
