Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of temporal isolation: Temporal isolation is a form of reproductive isolation where two species breed at different times, preventing them from interbreeding.
Identify the key characteristic of temporal isolation: It involves differences in timing, such as breeding seasons, that prevent species from mating.
Examine the options provided: Look for the option that describes a difference in timing related to breeding or reproduction.
Analyze the option 'Two species of frogs that breed in different seasons': This option clearly describes a scenario where the timing of breeding is different, fitting the definition of temporal isolation.
Conclude that 'Two species of frogs that breed in different seasons' is an example of temporal isolation, as it involves a difference in breeding times preventing interbreeding.
