Assume you are studying secondary contact in two species of birds. You notice that hybrids are produced and that much of the DNA of each species is becoming more similar over time. The likely end point of this process is which of the following? Fusion Evolution of reproductive isolation Reinforcement Stable and minimal hybrid production
