An example of a reproductive isolating mechanism is A male elk fight with each other to attract females B male fruit flies attract females with chemicals called pheromones C moth found in the LRGV mates during the day while a similar species in Mexico mates only at night D mesquite trees cannot mate with rattlesnakes E sperm from a mesquite tree cannot fertilize a rattlesnake egg even by artificial insemination.

There are several mechanisms through which reproductive isolation occurs. Which situation is an example of behavioral isolation? A. Mules, the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse, are unable to reproduce because they are sterile. B. Males of different, closely related species of fireflies signal for mates by flashing different light sequences. C. The reproductive organs of snails only properly align when the male and female belong to the same species. D. Red and purple sea urchins cannot reproduce with one another because the sperm and egg cannot fuse.
