Question
Two similar looking species cannot mate if
They have different mating seasons
They have different habitats
They have different mating calls
All of the above
They have different mating seasons
They have different habitats
They have different mating calls
All of the above
Hint:
Think about Behavioral isolation and Geographical isolation.
The correct answer is: All of the above
- Behavioral isolation occurs when mismatches in mating traits (signals and/or preferences) prevent mating between two species/populations.
- Geographical isolation means the separation of species by physical barriers like water forms, oceans, mountains, etc. The organisms are ultimately separated from exchanging genetic materials with other organisms of the same species.
- So we can say all the above options are correct
