On my worksheet for Biology the possible answers for that exact question are
infertility
extinction
isolation
selection.
hope that narrows it down
_____________________________
The answer is: isolation.
Normally populations which can interbreed come from the same species.
Different species cannot interbreed.
When, overtime, two populations of the same species can no longer breed, it is called isolation.
A. Isolation
isolation
If two populations of the same species no longer interbreed then their differences will start to become more pronounced and eventually they will become so different that they will be classified as two different sub-species.
Allopatric speciation
Nonnative species have no natural controls or competitors and will become more and more invasive. They can crowd out native species until they no longer exist.
When a creature undergoes significant changes in its genetic makeup and physical characteristics that prevent it from successfully reproducing with individuals of its ancestral population, it can be considered a different species. Reproductive isolation is a fundamental principle in defining species, meaning that if two populations can no longer interbreed and produce fertile offspring, they are considered separate species.
Once species have truly become distinct, members of the two species are no longer able to successfully breed with each other and produce fully viable offspring. This may be as little as a physical separation that prevents contact (e.g. new mountain ranges, isolation on islands), to changes in pheromones that individuals produce so that individuals of the two species are no longer attracted cross species even if they encounter each other, to as much as the development of complete genetic incompatibility (e.g. different numbers of chromosomes in the two species).
If two populations of the same species no longer interbreed then their differences will start to become more pronounced and eventually they will become so different that they will be classified as two different sub-species.
Your answer is speciation
DINOSAURS.
once they can no longer breed and produce a fertile offspring with the other group they become a separate species
the species will no longer be seen
Extinct is when an animal or plant doesn't exist any longer on earth.
Extinction. When a species fails to adapt, it dies out.
Any species of animal that no longer has a living animal in the world is said to have become extinct.The Dinosaurs, Dodo and the Passenger Pigeon are three animal species that are classed as being extinct.
To put it simply, new species can form when organisms within a population become so genetically different they can no longer reproduce with one another without generating harmful mutations. This can be caused by genetic drift and geographic isolation. Two populations of the same species who live in different parts of the world will diverge and go on separate genetic paths, until eventually the two populations become genetically different and branch off into two different species.
Allopatric speciation
Whales (there are many different species) and seals (again a large numbers of different species) do not hibernate.
The word that means a species of animals or plants is not longer in existence is extinct. Animals that are no longer plentiful, might be called endangered.
