Select all that apply. Beetles from two geographically isolated populations are captured and brought to the lab. When an adult male from one population and an adult female from the other population are placed together, they mate, and the female lay eggs a couple of days later. The eggs hatch, the beetles develop into adults but are sterile. Which of the following are true? Sexual selection is likely responsible. Dobzhanski-Muller genetic incompatibility is likely responsible. This is an example of post-zygotic reproductive isolation. This is an example of pre-zygotic reproductive isolation.
