Hello everyone. And in today's video we have the following problem. If two populations to different populations are reproductively isolated, please keep this in mind because it is very important to solve the problem from each other. They must be regarded as. So let's just go over answer choices so that we can start solving this problem. Starting by by OEM by Omar. This group of a biotic factors that exists in a certain area. So examples could be the ph the temperature, the humidity and things like this that just excess or rain over a certain area. This is not really what the question is describing. So we're going to cancel this out. Then we have an ecosystem an ecosystem similar to buy OEM However, it's going to be biotic and biotic factors. So it's going to again include baby factors are going to be the ph light and temperature of a certain area and biotic factors which are going to be animals, living things that exist there. This is also not what the question is describing. So we're going to cancel it out. Then we have B which is community, this community are these groups of interacting species that are just working together or just interacting with each other. We said that they are isolated or the species in questions are isolated from each other. So we're not going to select community as or answer. And this all lifts us with separate biological species. Now, if we have separate species such as humans and dogs were going to be reproductively isolated because we cannot create offspring or just viable offspring and this is what makes us separate species or separate biological species, which is what the question is describing. So we're going to highlight answer choice a as being what the question is exactly describing. And our final answer thank you very much for sticking around until the end of this video, and I hope to see you on the next one.
