Question

Males of many marsupial species have forked penises that are incompatible with the anatomy of female placental mammals. What type of isolating mechanism does this represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

This is the example of behavioral isolation

Explanation:

Behavioral isolation is seen between same species where this type of isolation prevents mating and leads to speciation.

This isolation prevents species that diverge from interbreeding thus they lo longer able to mate with each other.

Behavioral isolation occur when two populations with capability of interbreeding develops different courtship rituals.

Difference in  mating creates extreme reproductive barrier that isolate same similar species.

The behavior of both sexes are interlinked and are synchronized in time.

In some times, morphological difference also takes place which ultimately leads to behavioral isolation and thus no mating takes place.
