Consider a hypothetical population of sexually reproducing organisms. Suppose some of the members of the population start breeding at a different time of year than most of the other members of the population. This type of reproductive barrier is described as a: a.Gametic barrier b.Behavioral barrier c.Habitat barrier d.Temporal barrier

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer is d. Temporal barrier

Gametic barrier won't allow the fertilization to take place since both the Male and the female gametes are not able to recognize each other hence not compatible.

Behavioral barrier - their is no interbreeding taking place because only members of the same species recognize their partner.

Habitat barrier- mating of the individuals is interrupted due to habitat differences

Temporal barrier- mating occurs during different seasons.
