There are two general categories of reproductive isolating mechanisms: prezygotic, or those that take effect before fertilization, and postzygotic, those that take effect afterward. Prezygotic RIMs prevent the formation of hybrids between members of different populations through ecological, temporal, ethological (behavioral), mechanical, and gametic isolation.

What behavioral reproductive isolation is?

A behavioral reproductive barrier occurs, when closely related animals, who are capable of reproducing from a genetic and physical standpoint, and generating viable offspring, do not reproduce, and are classified as different species as a result of this behavior. For example, the Eastern and Western Meadowlarks do not interbreed because their mating songs have become so distinct as to no longer be recognized except within their own species. If it were not for this fact alone, they would not be considered different species as they are capable of interbreeding at genetic and physical levels and are very similar in appearance.


Do the digestive urinary and reproductive system serve any similar functions?

There are several similar functions, but one example would be calcium maintenance. The kidneys reabsorb calcium as needed, and further, they stimulate the small intestines to absorb calcium from food.

What ORGAN blocks entrance of many drugs because of a barrier similar to the blood brain barrier?

The placenta acts as a barrier to many drugs due to its structure and functions similar to the blood-brain barrier. It is designed to protect the developing fetus from harmful substances while allowing essential nutrients to pass through. This barrier prevents many drugs from crossing into the fetus's bloodstream during pregnancy.

How could two species that evolved on separate continents have similarities?

It's called convergent evolution. Where two species that are separated by a barrier evolve similar structures or behaviors. This is because they most likely live in similar environments that cause them to adapt similar features to survive in that particular environment.


What is the difference between a barrier island and a barrier spit?

A barrier island is a long, narrow island that lies parallel to the mainland, typically formed by the accumulation of sand and sediment, and serves to protect the coast from wave action and storm surges. In contrast, a barrier spit is a landform that projects from the mainland into a body of water, also formed by sediment deposition, but it is connected to the mainland at one end. While both serve similar protective functions, barrier islands are separate landforms, whereas barrier spits remain attached to the mainland.
