Answer:

Mechanical isolation

Explanation:

mechanical isolation is a form of prezygotic reproductive barrier, whereby similar species organisms become isolated and unable to successfully interbreed with each other to form zygote, as a result of incompatibility of their reproductive organ or structure, which prevents them from copulating. As a result of this, both species become separated as there is no gene flow between both.

The two species of juniper can be said to be kept separate by <em>mechanical isolation</em>, due to the differences and incompatibility of their reproductive structure.

Mechanical isolation

Mechanical isolation occurs when two organisms of the same species are unable to copulate because of the differences in their reproductive organs. In flowering plants, differences in the structure of the reproductive parts may also hinder pollination. From the question given above, even though the two plants have overlapping ranges, the pollen grains from one species are unable to grow thus disallowing the pollen tubes to connect or transport the sperm nuclei to the female ovules of the other species where the fertilization of the eggs will occur. These two species are said to be isolated mechanically.
