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.


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?
