Pre and postzygotic Flashcards
What is a prezygotic barrier
Occurs before fertilization
Temporal isolation
Mating or flowering occurs at different seasons or times of day
Habitat isolation
Populations live in different habitats and do not meet
Behavioral isolation
There is little or no sexual attraction between different species
Mechanical isolation
Structural differences in genitalia or flowers prevent copulation or pollen transfer
Gametic isolation
Male and/or female gametes die before uniting or fail to unite
What is a postzygotic barrier
Occurs after fertilization (prevents the development of fertile adults)
Hybrid zygote
Results from union of two games of different species
What are the postzygotic barriers
Hybrid inviability, hybrid sterility, hybrid breakdown
Hybrid inviability
Hybrids fail to develop or reach sexual maturity
Hybrid sterility
Hybrids fail to form functional gametes
Hybrid breakdown
Offspring of hybrids are weak or infertile
