True or False. When two populations reproduce at different times, then they are behaviorally isolated.
If a populations allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from generation to generation
True or false: If false, please make it a correct statement. A rancher uses a particular chicken for breeding purposes because, on average, she observed that the chicken laid more eggs than other chickens. The rancher selecting the desirable trait would be considered an example of natural selection.
