Diane Dodd, of Yale University, divided a fruit-fly population, raising some populations on a starch medium and others on a maltose medium. After many generations, natural selection resulted in divergent evolution: Populations raised on starch digested starch more efficiently, while those raised on maltose digested maltose more efficiently. Dodd then put flies from the same or different populations in mating cages and measured mating frequencies. Which of the statements is best supported by the data?

D) The starch adapted flies and maltose adapted flies are not different species but a reproductive barrier is forming between the two populations

Explanation: differences have accumulated within the populations to isolate them reproductively. The flies have chosen to mate with those like them.

explanation:

the universal gravitation equation. since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. if the mass of one of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is doubled.
