Complete question:

Frequently, a group of related species will each have a unique courtship ritual that must be performed correctly for both partners to be willing to mate. Such a ritual constitutes a reproductive barrier.

Group of answer choices

A) behavioral . . . prezygotic

B) mechanical . . . postzygotic

C) temporal . . . prezygotic

D) gametic . . . postzygotic

A) behavioral . . . prezygotic

Explanation:

The biological concept of species states that individuals of a species can not mate and reproduce with individuals of another species. But if they get to reproduce, the progeny will not be viable or fertile. There will not be any reproductive success.

There are different reproductive isolation mechanisms, which are barriers that inhibit or interrupt the genetic flow between different species.

Reproductive barriers are isolation mechanisms that prevent mating between two or more species. The prezygotic mechanism avoids fertilization between individuals of different species, while the postzygotic mechanism impedes the zygote to develop and reach the adult stage.

There are different types of reproductive barriers.

Pre-copulatory o pre-ziygotic:

Postzygotic mechanisms or barriers include

Behavioral isolation is also known as ethological isolation or sexual isolation. This is a prezygotic barrier that refers to the fact that even when many species occupy the same area, they are not sexually attracted to each other, and might be rejected because of behavioral factors, not getting to mate. This mechanism includes courtship patterns or mating rituals and specific chemical signals that allow recognition between individuals of the same species.
