Question

Question 23 Which of the following types of reproductive barriers separates a pair of insect species that could interbreed but for the fact that one lives on goldenrod plants and the other on autumn daisies in the same general area? O temporal isolation O behavioral isolation O habitat isolation O gametic isolation

Answer 1

Reproductive barriers can be of any form, including gamete, habitat, temporal, behavioral, mechanical, and behavioral barriers. Prezygotic barriers are the umbrella term for all of these instances.

Barriers in the form of chemicals or structures produce mechanical isolation. For instance, male gametes will not be able to reach the egg cell if the shape of the pollinator does not coincide with the shape of the flower.

All members of a species can mate with each other at first in the case of allopatric speciation, but subsequently owing to geographic barriers, such as a rift, their habitat separates and they are unable to breed with each other, and later they evolve as separate species.

Behavioral isolation occurs when individuals from two closely related species act and react differently to one another's mating behaviors. such as breeding calls.

When the gametes cannot fuse for any reason, such as diminished sperm motility in the female reproductive tract, gamete isolation occurs.
