An example of a postzygotic isolating mechanism between closely related species would be which of the following? One species flowers in April, the other in August. The two species are pollinated by different species of bees. A zygote produced by syngamy of sperm and egg of the two species contains an uneven number of chromosomes. The pollen from one species will not germinate on the stigma of the other. One species is terrestrial, the other totally aquatic.

Which of the following is an example of postzygotic reproductive isolation? a. Sperm of species A dies in the oviduct of species B before fertilization can take place. b. Hybrid zygotes between species A and B are spontaneously aborted early in development. c. The mating seasons of species A and B do not overlap. d. Males of species A are not attracted to the pheromones produced by the females of species B

Which of the following are examples of postzygotic reproductive barriers? (select all that apply) Two different beetle species inhabit different tree species in the same forest Two different hummingbird species in an area breed during different seasons Two different oak tree species interbreed frequently, and produce hybrid offspring that grow poorly and have particularly high mortality Two different seal species interbreed frequently, and produce viable, fertile offspring Two different fungus species interbreed occasionally, but their hybrid offspring are incapable of reproducing
