A postzygotic barrier is a reproductive mechanism that occurs after fertilization, preventing the successful development or reproduction of hybrid offspring. These barriers can manifest in various forms, such as reduced viability, where hybrids do not survive to maturity, or reduced fertility, where hybrids are sterile and cannot produce offspring. Postzygotic barriers help maintain species integrity by limiting gene flow between distinct species, even if mating occurs. Examples include mules, which are hybrids of horses and donkeys, and are typically sterile.

Example of post-zygotic barrier?
Post-zygotic barriers are reproductive barriers that occur after fertilization, such as hybrid inviability or hybrid sterility. An example of a post-zygotic barrier is when a hybrid offspring fails to develop properly or is unable to reproduce, reducing the fitness of the hybrid offspring.
The type of reproductive barrier that occurs when two species mate but produce sterile hybrids is referred to as?
a post-zygotic barrier
What is post zygotic?
You may mean post zygotic isolation/barrier to interbreeding between species. Sterile hybrids, such as mules are a good example of this. The zygote can form from the union of two gametes, but the mature organisms can no longer produce progeny usually due to chromosome mismatch.
Can doves and eagles mate?
Copulation may be possible, but there would be a number of post-zygotic barriers that would prevent the survival of the offspring.
When did Gorky's Zygotic Mynci end?
Gorky's Zygotic Mynci ended in 2006.
When was Gorky's Zygotic Mynci created?
Gorky's Zygotic Mynci was created in 1991.
Are conjoined twins mono-zygotic or di-zygotic?
Conjoined twins are monozygotic, meaning they develop from a single fertilized egg that splits incompletely during early development.

What is a zygotene?
You may mean post zygotic isolation/barrier to interbreeding between species. Sterile hybrids, such as mules are a good example of this. The zygote can form from the union of two gametes, but the mature organisms can no longer produce progeny usually due to chromosome mismatch.
What is one way new species form?
First, you must a have a population of the same species. They must split so that they cannot cross-breed, this can happen by an island or a canyon range. Then, through many generations mutations, genetic drift, gene flow, natural selection and bottleneck effect comes a new species.
Is Proteus Syndrome a mutation?
Yes, Proteus syndrome is caused by a post-zygotic somatic mutation in the AKT1 gene. This mutation leads to overgrowth of various tissues in the body, resulting in characteristic features of the syndrome.
Which letter in this figure showing a zygotic life cycle indicates where meiosis occurs?
The letter that indicates where meiosis occurs in the zygotic life cycle is usually represented by the letter "C", which represents the formation of spores through meiosis.
