Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reproductive isolating mechanisms are biological features of animals, plants, or species that prevent species from interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. These mechanisms can be prezygotic (before fertilization) or postzygotic (after fertilization) and are crucial for maintaining species boundaries, especially for species living in the same habitat (sympatric species).
