Answer 1

b. One species performs a specific courtship dance, the other species does not is an example of temporal isolation.

Step-by-step explanation:
b. One species performs a specific courtship dance, the other species does not is an example of temporal isolation.

Temporal isolation refers to the situation where two species that could potentially interbreed do not do so because they have different breeding times. For example, one species may breed during the day, while the other species breeds at night, or one species may have a specific courtship dance and the other species does not.

In this case, the species that does not perform a specific courtship dance, would be temporally isolated from the other species that does, and thus would not be able to interbreed.
