Question

If similar species reproduce at different seasons or different times of the day, such isolation will be

• A. Ethological.
• B. Geographical.
• C. Temporal.
• D. Mechanical.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Temporal.

• A species is a group of animals or plants that can interbreed or exchange genes. The isolation of reproduction in species occurs when interbreeding is not possible between two organisms of similar or different species.
• Geographical isolation occurs when the same species organism gets separated because of accidents or coincidences.
• Temporal isolation occurs when interbreeding does not occur because of the different mating seasons or lack of activity at the same time.
• Mechanical isolation is because of physical barriers like size or distinct body forms.
• Ethological isolation occurs due to a lack of sexual attraction between two species or organisms.

Thus, option C is correct answer.
