ipn [44]
Reproductive isolation is the process to keep away two various species from mating with each other. An example is two fish species from the sticklebacks family. One species lives in fresh water all year while the other one lives in the sea during winter and goes to rivers to produce their offspring every spring and summer. This is specifically called temporal isolation.

Bond [772]

Answer:

At the end of mitosis, __two________ daughter cells that are genetically _____similar_____ are formed, while at the end of meiosis, _____four_____ daughter cells that are genetically _____distinct_____ are formed.

Explanation:there are two types of cell division; mitosis which occurs in somatic cells and meiosis which occurs in reproductive cells.

In mitosis, division occurs once leading to the production of two daughters cells.crossing over does not occur in the chromosome, so the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell.

In meiosis,cell division occurs twice ,(meiosis I & II),leading to the production of four daughter cells.

Crossing over occurs,leading to genetic variation in the daughter cells.
