The word isolate has its origin in Latin where it is concerned with an island.

In Physics one could isolate a region from an incoming wave, such as light, heat, sound, vibration, X-rays and so on.

In Chemistry one could isolate a substance on the basis of its optical refraction, or where it was on the acid-base scale.

In Biology one could isolate one species or sex from the remainder.

There are more, but the general meaning is to separate.

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.


What are isolating mechanisms?

Intrinsic mechanism is defined as an obstacle to interbreeding. Examples of intrinsic isolating mechanism includes behavioral and structural incompatibility. An example of extrinsic is geographical barrier.

Two species breeding at different times describes what isolating mechanisms?

Temporal isolation: Individuals do not mate because they are active at different times. This may be different times of the day or different seasons. The species mating periods may not match up. Individuals do not encounter one another during either their mating periods, or at all. Source:Wikipedia: Isolating mechanisms

How do postzygotic isolating mechanisms reinforce prezygotic ones?

Postzygotic isolating mechanisms reduce the fitness of hybrid offspring, adding an additional barrier to prevent interbreeding between different species. This reinforces the effectiveness of prezygotic isolating mechanisms by ensuring that even if mating does occur, the resulting hybrids are less likely to survive and reproduce, further preventing gene flow between the species.


What are the two types reporting isolating events?

The two types of reporting isolating events are internal reporting and external reporting. Internal reporting involves sharing information about isolating events within an organization, typically for operational improvements or compliance purposes. External reporting, on the other hand, involves communicating these events to stakeholders outside the organization, such as regulatory bodies or the public, often to ensure transparency and accountability. Both types aim to address and mitigate the impact of such events effectively.
