Any factor that in nature prevents interbreeding between individuals of the same species or of closely related species, for example geographic separation is itself a reproductive isolation because is a factor that prevents interbreeding. -extinction of one species -production of infertile offspring -development of physical differences
What else can I help you with?
What are the two main types of isolation?
That would be geographic isolation and reproductive isolation. Both could lead to speciation.
What does geographic isolation lead to?
Reproductive isolation
How is speciation and reproductive isolation related?
Reproductive isolation is a type of speciation. Reproductive isolation is when a species divides forming two subspecies, due to different mating periods.
This condition may be either geographic or reproductive?
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.
How does reproductive isolation increase isolation?
it stops gene flow
Is reproductive isolation always genetic?
NO
What situation occurs when members of two different species cannot interbreed and produce fertile off-springs?
Reproductive Isolation.
What are three types of reproductive isolations?
The three types of reproductive isolation are: 1. Temporal isolation: different times of reproduction 2. Behavioral isolation: different habits of the same species 3. Geographical isolation: species are separated by natural barriers
What are results from reproductive isolation?
Reproductive isolation can lead to the formation of new species through the prevention of gene flow between populations. This can result in the development of unique genetic traits and adaptations in each isolated population. Over time, reproductive isolation can contribute to the biodiversity of an ecosystem.
What type of reproductive isolating mechanism is described by a situation in which female fireflies only mate with males who emit light in a particular pattern?
The form of reproductive isolation that is practiced by different species of butterflies is sexual isolation by conduct. This means that the pattern of flashing lights that the male firefly exhibits is specific to that species, and a variation will cause a female firefly to ignore them.
Speciation that results from geographical isolation that leads to reproductive isolation?
Allopactric ( other country ) speciation.
What is the factor used to define a species?
Reproductive Isolation
