Identify the correct term for the statement, 'mating between groups do not produce fertile offspring'.

  1. Geographical isolation

  2. Mechanical isolation

  3. Temporal isolation

  4. Hybrid sterility

  5. Behavioral isolation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Presence of populations of a species in distant localities preventing the gene flow between them leads to geographical isolation. Incompatible differences in reproductive structures leading to prevention of cross fertilization refers to as mechanical isolation. Different periods of attainment of sexual maturity leads to temporal isolation. Incompatible premating behaviour leading to no attraction between groups for mating is termed as behavioural isolation. Abnormal distribution to the gametes of whole chromosomes, chromosome segments, or combinations of genes leading to infertile hybrid is one of the post zygotic isolation.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Territorial behavior is the method by which an animal or a group of animals protects its territory from incursions by others of its species. It is not affected by the environmental changes.

Learned behaviors are acquired changes in the behaviors, during one's lifetime. 
Innate behaviors are inherited and performed correctly the first time an organism is exposed to a certain stimulus.
Stereotypic behavior is an abnormal behavior frequently seen in laboratory primates. It is considered an indication of poor psychological well-being 
All the above-mentioned behaviors except for territorial is affected by environmental changes.
So, the correct answer is option A.
