Question

Suppose you want to make a new connection to species in the concept map. Which of the terms below could fill in the blank in this new connection: "_____ is a mechanism that defines the separation between species." Select all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hello. You did not enter answer options, but some terms that can be used to fill in the blank are:

Hybrid infertility, Hybrid inviability, Behavioral isolation, Sympatric isolation, Habitat isolation, Hybrid breakdown, Allopatric isolation.

Explanation:

All of the above terms represent situations that cause separation between species. This separation can occur physically or molecularly, but it always results in genetic modifications that end up separating one species genetically from the other, causing evolution and generating different species, to the point that it is not possible to establish mating between its members.
