d
The time period used for reproduction can create reproductive isolation between the two species of frogs, leading to speciation. By reproducing at different times, the two species are less likely to interbreed and exchange genes, ultimately leading to the formation of distinct species.
Ms. Vetter studies two species of frogs. One species reproduces from January to March. The other species reproduces from March to May. How does the time period used for reproduction relate to speciation in frogs?

a
The two species of frogs can mate, even though they reproduce during different times. As a result, they formed different species just due to time.
b
All species of frogs can mate and reproduce because they have a common ancestor.
c
Reproduction times have nothing to do with speciation. It is a random effect without clear reasons.
d
The two species of frogs cannot mate because they reproduce at different times. As a result, they formed different species.
