Reproductive Barrier | Type of Isolation. | Occurs When |
Prezygotic isolation | Mechanical isolation | Reprodctive structures make species incompatible for interbreeding |
Post Zygotic isolation. | Hybrid inviability | Resulting zygotes cannot survive. |
Prezygotic isolation | Gametic isolation | The sperm and the eggs between related species are not compatible. |
Prezygotic isolation | Habitat isolation | Species occupy different environments and are unlikely to meet and reproduce. |
Post zygotic isolation | Hybrid sterility | Resulting hybrids are incapable of producing viable gametes |
Post zygotic | Temporal isolation. | Species live nearby, but mate st different times |
Prezygotic isolation. | Behavioural isolation | species have courtship patterns that prevent interbreeding. |

*22. Which of the isolating mechanisms listed in Table 26.2 have partly evolved between apple and hawthorn host races of Rhagoletis pomenella, the apple maggot fly? TABLE 26.1 Types of reproductive isolating mechanisms Type Characteristics Prezygotic Acts before a zygote has formed Ecological Differences in habitat; individuals do not meet Temporal Reproduction takes place at different times Mechanical Anatomical differences prevent copulation Behavioral Differences in mating behavior prevent mating Gametic Gametes are incompatible or not attracted to each other Postzygotic...
