Two species of antelope, one from Africa, the other from Asia, are put into the same enclosure in a zoo. To the zookeeper's surp

rise, individuals of the different species begin to mate and produce healthy, hybrid baby antelopes. Explain why a biologist might not view these offspring as evidence that the two species of antelope are in fact one.

Answer: Allopatric speciation

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation refers to the rise of new distinct species of offspring from parental organisms that DO NOT live in the same territory, that is geographically isolated and thus unable to crossbreed.

Definitely, the emergence of healthy and hybrid offsprings from the TWO species of antelope, from Africa and Asia, breed together in the Zoo could be explained by ALLOPATRIC SPECIATION.

Why is the structure of dna called a double helix?
jeka57 [31]
The structure of DNA is called a double helix because DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides wound together in a spiral.

6. species Closely related of orchids never mate in the wild because they bloom at different times. This is an example of ______
Dimas [21]

Answer:

temporal reproductive isolation

Explanation:

The correct answer would be temporal reproductive isolation.

<u>Reproductive isolation</u> generally refers to series of biological mechanisms or processes that prevent members of different species from mating/fertilization or prevent the product of their mating to be invalid.

Some reproductive isolation processes prevent members of different species from mating or prevent fertilization as a result of mating. These processes are known as pre-zygotic reproductive isolation mechanisms.

Some other processes ensure that the product of fertilization (when it occurs) is invalid. These are known as post-zygotic isolation mechanisms.

<em>A good example of the pre-zygotic reproductive isolation process is </em><em>when closely related by different species bloom at different times</em><em>. This will prevent mating or cross-pollination to happen between the different species. This is known as temporal reproductive isolation.</em>
