Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following types of reproductive barriers separate a pair of species that could interbreed except that one mates at dusk and the other at dawn?
A
behavioral isolation
B
mechanical isolation
C
habitat isolation
D
temporal isolation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -temporal isolation, in biology, a type of reproductive isolation mechanism among sexual organisms in which the differences in the timing of critical reproductive events prevent members of closely related species, which could otherwise breed with one another, from mating and producing hybrid offspring.

Detailed explanation-2: -Species are separated from one another by prezygotic and postzygotic barriers, which prevent mating or the production of viable, fertile offspring. Speciation is the process by which new species form.

Detailed explanation-3: -Temporal isolation is a type of prezygotic barrier to reproduction which prevents individuals of two different species from interbreeding due to differences in timing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Allopatric speciation (1) occurs when a species separates into two separate groups which are isolated from one another. A physical barrier, such as a mountain range or a waterway, makes it impossible for them to breed with one another.
