It is a catergory of mechanisms that prevent two or more populations from exchanging genes. The Mule and the Hinny are two examples.

--Better answer!

it's when a type of species is separated for too long so they can no longer reproduce with each other because each of them have adapted and changed depending on their environment.

humans almost went through reproductive isolation, but we were not isolated long enough, which is why we have different races and different types of races can still mate with each other.

hope i helped(;

It decreases allele frequency.
