Aspecies is defined as organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. diane dodd examined the idea of speciation in fruit flies. she took fruit flies from a single population and divided them into separate populations living in different cages, each receiving different food sources. one group was given maltose-based foods and the other, starch-based foods. after many generations, the flies were tested to see which flies they preferred to mate with. dodd found that "maltose flies" preferred other "maltose flies.” in this case, what lead to speciation?
