16
Q

Reproductive isolation can have three different types

A

Behavioral isolation
Geographic isolation
Temporal isolation

17
Q

Behavioral isolation

A

Two populations reproduce differently so they don’t wanna mate with each other

18
Q

Geographic isolation

A

Two populations are separated because of land stuff like rivers and mountains

19
Q

Temporal Isolating

A

Two species reproduce at different times so they don’t mate with each other
