Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Some female peacocks prefer males with large, colorful tales while other female peacocks prefer males with no tail at all. Females are now mating only with the tail they prefer. What type of reproductive barrier is this?
A
behavioral isolation
B
hybrid sterility
C
temporal isolation
D
mechanical isolation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic Drift Example Consider a population of rabbits with brown fur and white fur, white fur being the dominant allele. Due to genetic drift, only the brown population might remain, with all the white ones eliminated. A couple with brown and blue eyes has children with brown or blue eyes.

Detailed explanation-2: -In essence, different populations find different genetic solutions to the same selective problem. In turn, the different genetic solutions (i.e., mutations) are incompatible with one another, causing reproductive isolation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.
