A population of ants lives in the rainforest and prefers to forage for food in the morning. A mutation emerges that causes individuals to forage in the afternoon. The population diverges into two populations based on foraging preferences. Individuals from each population stop interacting with each other and eventually there is no gene flow between the populations even though they still nest in the same areas as each other. Over time, you would expect:

Horses and donkeys can breed but they produce sterile (infertile) offspring known as mules. From thisobservation you could conclude
