Examples of reproductive isolation in the following topics:
-
- Reproductive isolation, through mechanical, behavioral, and physiological barriers, is an important component of speciation.
- Scientists classify reproductive isolation in two groups: prezygotic barriers and postzygotic barriers.
- Differences in breeding schedules, called temporal isolation, can act as a form of reproductive isolation.
- These two related frog species exhibit temporal reproductive isolation.
- Reproductive organ incompatibility keeps the species reproductively isolated.
-
- Over time, two species may further diverge or reconnect, depending on the fitness strength and the reproductive barriers of the hybrids.
- Over time, the hybrid zone may change depending on the fitness strength and the reproductive barriers of the hybrids .
- If the hybrids are as fit or more fit than the parents, or the reproductive barriers weaken, the two species may fuse back into one species (reconnection).
- Reproductive isolation between hybrids and their parents was once thought to be particularly difficult to achieve; thus, hybrid species were thought to be extremely rare.
- Reinforcement, fusion, or stability may result, depending on reproductive barriers and the relative fitness of the hybrids.
-
- Scientists have identified two main types of polyploidy that can lead to reproductive isolation, or the inability to interbreed with normal individuals, of an individual in the polyploidy state.
- Notice how it takes two generations, or two reproductive acts, before the viable fertile hybrid results.
-
- Asexual and sexual reproduction, two methods of reproduction among animals, produce offspring that are clones or genetically unique.
- The queen bee controls the reproduction of the hive bees to regulate the type of bee produced.
- Two Komodo dragons, a bonnethead shark, and a blacktip shark have produced parthenogenic young when the females have been isolated from males.
- Sexual reproduction produces offspring with novel combinations of genes.
- Hermaphroditism occurs in animals where one individual has both male and female reproductive parts.
-
- External and internal fertilization are forms of reproduction that vary in method and embryo development.
- The release of the reproductive material may be triggered by water temperature or the length of daylight.
- The embryo is isolated within the female, which limits predation on the young.
-
- Most importantly, reproduction is necessary for the survival of a species.
- The known methods of reproduction are broadly grouped into two main types: sexual and asexual.
- Organisms that reproduce through asexual reproduction tend to grow in number exponentially.
- Sexual reproduction ensures a mixing of the gene pool of the species.
- Female seahorses produce eggs for reproduction that are then fertilized by the male.
-
- Plants have evolved different reproductive strategies for the continuation of their species.
- Plant sexual reproduction usually depends on pollinating agents, while asexual reproduction is independent of these agents.
- Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction.
- The flower is the reproductive organ of plants classified as angiosperms.
- The basic function of a flower is to produce seeds through sexual reproduction.
-
- This gene is highly conserved and commonly used in phylogenetic studies so it was isolated from spores of each taxonomic group.
-
- Many plants are able to propagate themselves using asexual reproduction.
- Plants have two main types of asexual reproduction: vegetative reproduction and apomixis.
- Many different types of roots exhibit vegetative reproduction .
- This method of reproduction is known as apomixis.
- Different types of stems allow for asexual reproduction.
-
- Reproductive cloning, possible through artificially-induced asexual reproduction, is a method used to make a clone of an entire organism.
- Reproductive cloning is a method used to make a clone or an identical copy of an entire multicellular organism.
- This idea forms the basis for reproductive cloning.
- It can be used for either therapeutic cloning or reproductive cloning.
- The success rate of reproductive cloning at the time was very low.
