Question

Which of these is NOT a reproductive isolating mechanism?

a. geographic

b. temporal

c. behavioral

d. all of these are reproductive isolating mechanisms

Answer 1

What is temporal ?

Answer 2

That's what I was going to ask.

Answer 3

It is genetic isolation achieved due to temporal differences in breeding.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Do you know the definition of them all?

Answer 6

Answer 7

*definitions >.<

Answer 8

To keep it simple, any isolation which will prevent potentially interbreeding populations from cross-fertilization will be a reproductive isolating mechanism.

Answer 9

Geographic isolation is a term that refers to a population of animals, plants, or other organisms that are separated from exchanging genetic material with other organisms of the same species due to some geographical barrier like mountain, river etc.

Answer 10

Behavioral isolation is a term that refers to a population of animals, plants, or other organisms that are separated from exchanging genetic material with other organisms of the same species due to behavioral differences like opening and closing of flower at different times.

Answer 11

So all the options restrict two population from interbreeding.

Answer 12

got it ?

Answer 13

I think I am getting it, so the answer is d?

Yup.
