What occurs when forerly interbreeding organisms are prevented from producing fertile offspring?
If the species is prevented from producing fertile offspring - the species will eventually become extinct.
What do you call the inability of formaly interbreeding groups to mate or produce fertile offspring?
It is called the speciation process. If a species is isolated in two different environments, the gene pools of each environment vary, this is known as genetic variation. The environment selects the genes from the gene pool, equipped best for survival. The species with the best genes will live longer and breed more otherwise known as natural selection. This continues until they all have the same genes and become a different type of species as they are no longer able to produce fertile offspring with the other species. This is speciation.
When can an egg get fertile?
what do you mean by "what are fertilized"?? its an egg that is going to hatch because the male "Chicken" mated with a female Chicken a male chicken is not called a chicken i just told you that so you would better understand
Is it possible for different organisms to mate explain?
Yes it is possible. For instance a horse and a donkey can mate to produce a mule. This is a hybrid of the two and is itself sterile and incapable of producing offspring. Bacteria can also transfer genes between species. Generally with eukaryotes, however, mating rarely occurs outside of one's own species. This is because of many different factors. 1. Habitat isolation - two species that live in separate areas are unlikely to mate, even if they have matching "equipment" so to speak 2. Temporal isolation - sometimes species are only reproductive at certain times of year. If one species is active in spring and another in fall, they will be unable to mate. 3. Behavioral isolation - Animals are generally not attracted to other animals of different species. Sometimes there are courtship displays or procedures required for mating that are only done in the species in question. 4. Mechanical isolation - Some organisms just aren't going to have matching tools. A duck and an elephant, for instance, just aren't gonna do it. Poor duck. 5. Gametic isolation - Sometimes the sperm and eggs of different species are incompatible, or in the case of internal fertilization like humans practice (with sperm deposited inside the female's body in swimming range of the ovaries), sometimes the sperm can't survive inside the body of a female of a different species. 6. Reduced hybrid viability - Sometimes two species can fertilize one another, but the offspring produced is very weak. These offspring are very unlikely to reproduce themselves. 7. Reduced hybrid fertility - like mentioned above, mules are sterile. This means that even when horses and donkeys do mate, they don't produce fertile offspring. 8. Hybrid breakdown - Sometimes fertile hybrids can be produced, but their offspring are fertile. Sometimes though, you do get matings between organisms considered different species. This should reveal that nature need not abide by our categories! Two different species USUALLY can't mate, but rarely, they do, and even more rarely, they produce robust but sterile offspring (like the mule). Rarer still, they may produce fertile offspring which go on to reproduce and become a species in their own right. 7. physical barriers (an elephant could never safely couple with a duck), behavioral barriers (an elephant would never WANT to couple with a duck!), and reproductive barriers like
What is criteria for determining a species?
The criteria for determining a species generally include reproductive isolation, genetic similarity, and morphological characteristics. A species is often defined as a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring under natural conditions. Additionally, phylogenetic analysis can be used to assess evolutionary relationships among different groups, helping to delineate species boundaries. Overall, these criteria help scientists categorize and understand biodiversity.
What situation occurs when members of two different species cannot interbreed and produce fertile off-springs?
Reproductive Isolation.
What situation occurs when members of two different species cannot interbreed and produce fertile of spring?
reproductive isolation
What is any mechanism that impedes two species from producing fertile or viable offspring?
A mechanism that impedes two species from producing fertile or viable offspring is called a reproductive barrier. These barriers can be prezygotic, such as temporal isolation (where species breed at different times) or behavioral isolation (where different mating rituals prevent mating), or postzygotic, like hybrid inviability (where hybrid offspring do not survive) or hybrid sterility (where hybrids are sterile, like mules). These mechanisms help maintain species boundaries and promote speciation by limiting gene flow between populations.
How does temporal isolation work in preventing species from interbreeding?
Temporal isolation is a type of reproductive barrier that prevents species from interbreeding by having different mating times or seasons. This means that even if two species are in the same area, they may not be able to reproduce because they are not fertile at the same time. This helps maintain the genetic integrity of each species by keeping them from producing hybrid offspring.
Separation of species or populations so that they cannot interbreed and produce fertile offspring?
This process is known as reproductive isolation, which can occur through different mechanisms such as geographic barriers or genetic incompatibility. Over time, reproductive isolation can lead to speciation, resulting in the formation of new species.
What occurs when forerly interbreeding organisms are prevented from producing fertile offspring?
If the species is prevented from producing fertile offspring - the species will eventually become extinct.
What is a fertilizer egg called?
As breeders we call them "Viable eggs". They are fertile but they may not end up as chicks. "Fertile chicken eggs" is just as good when discussing them with others.
How would you define a biological species?
A biological species is a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring, typically sharing common characteristics and occupying a specific ecological niche. This reproductive isolation from other groups helps maintain distinct genetic boundaries among species.
What occurs when formerly interbreeding organisms are prevented from producing fertile offspring?
This can lead to the formation of new species through a process called reproductive isolation. Without the ability to produce fertile offspring, formerly interbreeding organisms are no longer able to exchange genes, leading to genetic divergence and the eventual formation of distinct species.
What developments let to the rise of the worlds first civilization?

What is the Latin for fertile?
Latin words and phrasing can be different because of the different dialects. One Latin phrase for fertile is Laetitia Letitia.
