What is less metabolically costly to an animal prezygotic or post zygotic isolation?
Prezygotic isolation because it is usually only a result of different mating calls or times. In postzygotic isolation the organism usually dies before it has a chance to reproduce or is infertile.
What is Mechanical Isolation?
There are two types: prezygotic and postzygotic. Prezygotic barriers prevent mating from even happening. If mating does occur, postzygotic barriers reduce the chances that an offspring will survive before being born. One prezygotic reproductive barrier is mechanical isolation.
What is one advantage of prezygotic isolation and postzygotic isolation?
Prezygotic means something that occurs before a zygote is formed or the completion of fertilization. Postzygotic is an even that occurs after the fertilization or formation of a zygote.
How is time a factor in temporal isolation?
Temporal isolation is a prezygotic constraints. Two species that breed at different times of the day, season, or year cannot mix their gametes. Since the breeding times are different there is no chance of reproductive contact. This keeps different species separate.
What are reproductive barriers?
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.
Is ecological isolation a prezygotic isolating mechanism?
Sure is. How can one mate if an ecological barrier is erected between two biological species? Even something as simple as the time of day can be a barrier to mating.
What is thought to be essential for the formation of distinct species rather than a continnum form one from of life to another?
Reproductive isolating mechanisms are either prezygotic or postzygotic. These mechanisms ensure that species remain distinct in nature.ChaCha!answer
How do postzygotic isolating mechanisms reinforce prezygotic ones?
Prezygotic, of course. Unless the behavior was to expel unwanted sperm or something like that. Generally the mating behaviors prevent ( pre ) any zygotes from having any possibility of being formed.
A reproductive barrier that prevents species from mating is an example of?
a prezygotic barrier
Why prezygotic isolating mechanisms have an advantage over postzygotic isolating mechanisms?
prezygotic isolating mechanisms were here first and have the advantage over postzygotic because they have had a longer time to develope and get harmful genes out of their population.
Isolating mechanisms that take effect before or during fertilization are termed?
prezygotic
What is a prezygotic mechanism?
prezygotic or postzygotic
