Answer:

geographical isolation

Explanation:

Reproductive isolation is a process of evolution that ensures that members of different species are incapable of mating and when they do, such mating do not result into any offspring or leads to the production of invalid offspring.

There are two mechanisms of reproductive isolation:

  • Pre-zygotic mechanisms prevents fertilization between two different species and these include habitat isolation, mating seasons, mechanical isolation, gamete isolation,  geographical isolation and behavioral isolation.
  • Post-zygotic isolation prevents the products of fertilization from becoming valid and this include hybrid inviability, hybrid sterility and hybrid breakdown.

<em>Geographical isolation involves the existence of geographical barriers between two populations such that there cannot be mating between the two. The two populations eventually evolve to become different species.</em>

the primary driving force that stabilizes lipid bilayers is the formation of hydrophobic bonds between fatty acid chains in phos
zhannawk [14.2K]

The primary driving force that stabilizes lipid bilayers is the formation of hydrophobic bonds between fatty acid chains in phospholipids and protein.

The cell membrane is made up of phospolipid bilayer with proteins embedded in between

Lipid bilayer is the structure present in the biological membrane. It consist of two layers of lipids with hydrophilic end facing each other and hydrophobic end facing the outer side.

the inner layer has both the hydrophobic end of the lipid molecules facing each other and bonded by hydrophobic bond van der waals forces.

The outer molecules are bonded with the protein molecules through hydrophilic bonds called hydrogen bonds.
