when the male and female unites
This condition may refer to either geographic isolation, where populations are separated by physical barriers, or reproductive isolation, where individuals are unable to interbreed successfully. Geographic isolation can lead to reproductive isolation over time as populations differentiate in isolation.
it stops gene flow
The three stages in the formation of a new species are isolation, divergence, and reproductive isolation. Isolation occurs when a population is separated into two groups, leading to genetic differences. Divergence happens as each group adapts to its environment, resulting in further genetic changes. Finally, reproductive isolation develops when the two groups can no longer interbreed successfully.
Ecological isolation occurs between eastern and western meadowlarks, preventing interbreeding. Their different habitats and behaviors keep them geographically separated, reducing the chance of gene flow and hybridization.
Three mechanisms for reproductive isolation are temporal isolation, behavioral isolation, and mechanical isolation. In the case of two populations of similar frogs with different mating calls, behavioral isolation is the mechanism that isolates them. This occurs because the frogs rely on specific mating calls to attract mates, preventing interbreeding between the two populations even if they inhabit the same area.
Reproductive Isolation.
extinction of one species?
If the species is prevented from producing fertile offspring - the species will eventually become extinct.

Reproductive isolation
Reproductive isolation is a type of speciation. Reproductive isolation is when a species divides forming two subspecies, due to different mating periods.
Speciation. Geographic isolation occurs when a population is divided by a physical barrier, leading to the development of distinct species over time. Reproductive isolation refers to barriers that prevent individuals from different populations from successfully mating and producing viable offspring.
This condition may refer to either geographic isolation, where populations are separated by physical barriers, or reproductive isolation, where individuals are unable to interbreed successfully. Geographic isolation can lead to reproductive isolation over time as populations differentiate in isolation.
Mutual attraction between individuals of different species is not a way that reproductive isolation occurs. Reproductive isolation typically arises from prezygotic or postzygotic barriers that prevent individuals of different species from successfully mating or producing viable offspring.
This type of isolation is called behavioral isolation. It occurs when individuals from different populations are unable to mate because their courtship rituals, behaviors, or other communication methods are incompatible. This can prevent gene flow between the populations and contribute to reproductive isolation.
