Multiple Choice

The following questions refer to the description below.
On the volcanic, equatorial West African island of Sao Tomé, two species of fruit fly exist. Drosophila yakuba inhabits the island's lowlands, and is also found on the African mainland, located about 200 miles away. At higher elevations, and found only on Sao Tomé, is found the very closely related Drosophila santomea. The two species can hybridize, though male hybrids are sterile. A hybrid zone exists at middle elevations, though hybrids there are greatly outnumbered by D. santomea. Studies of the two species' nuclear genomes reveal that D. yakuba on the island is more closely related to mainland D. yakuba than to D. santomea (2n=4 in both species) . Sao Tomé rose from the Atlantic Ocean about 14 million years ago.
-Which of these reduces gene flow between the gene pools of the two species on Sao Tomé, despite the existence of hybrids?

• A)hybrid breakdown
• B)hybrid inviability
• C)hybrid sterility
• D)temporal isolation
• E)a geographic barrier
