A fish and squirrel can’t mate because their physical parts don’t match. This is:
|
|
mechanical isolation
|
|
|
behavioral isolation
|
|
|
geographic isolation
|
|
|
temporal isolation
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Mechanical isolation is very common in plants. For example, flowering plants that do not have the correct shape for a pollinator will not receive a pollen transfer, and will therefore not be fertilized. In this case, the shape is the barrier.
Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of temporal isolation include differences in mating behaviors or fertility due to the time of day, time of year, or varied mating cycles. Two species which are temporally isolated long enough may eventually accrue enough genetic differences that they will no longer be able to interbreed.
