Answer:

"This is a specific example of a reproductive barrier, called behavioral isolation or sexual isolation".

Explanation:

Reproductive barriers are <em>isolation mechanisms</em> that prevent mating between two or more species. The <u><em>prezygotic mechanism</em></u> avoids fertilization between individuals of different species, and the <u><em>postzygotic mechanism</em></u> avoids the zygote to develop and reach the adult stage.

There are different types of reproductive barriers, one of them is <em>behavioral isolation</em>, also known as <em>ethological isolation</em> or <em>sexual isolation</em>. This is a <em>prezygotic barrier</em> that refers to the fact that <em>many species occupy the same area</em> but they are <em>not sexually attracted</em> to each other and might even be rejected <em>because of behavioral factors</em>, and this is why they do not get to mate. This mechanism includes courtship patterns or mating rituals, and specific chemical signals that allow the recognition between individuals of the same species. A typical <em>example</em> is the <em>recognition songs</em> of some species like frogs, birds, insects, and etcetera.

Which structure is perforated with pores to allow material to move in and out of the nucleus?.
erastovalidia [21]

The nuclear envelope is perforated with pores to allow it to move in and out of the nucleus.

Every cell in the body has a nucleus, except for mature erythrocytes (red blood cells). While some cells contain more than one nucleus such as skeletal muscle and some other cells contain several nuclei.

The nuclear envelope surrounds the nucleus. i. e. largest organelle of the cell. It has a similar structure to that of

the plasma membrane. But the nuclear envelope contains tiny pores that allow a few substances to pass between it and outside the cytoplasm, i.e. the cell contents excluding the nucleus.

Therefore, the nuclear envelope is perforated with pores to allow it to move in and out of the nucleus.

To know more about the nucleus, refer to the below link:
