Which describes the death of an interspecific embryo that failed to develop?
A) Hybrid sterility
B) Hybrid breakdown
C) Hybrid inviability
D) Ecological barriers
E) Prezygotic isolation
Hybrid Inviability
A post-zygotic barrier where hybrid offspring fail to develop properly or survive to reproductive age.
Interspecific Embryo
An embryo that results from the fusion of gametes from two different species, used in various scientific research to understand reproductive and genetic possibilities.
Ecological Barriers
Physical, biological, or chemical factors that limit the distribution or movements of organisms within ecosystems.
- Understand the results of mating between distinct species.
- Discriminate between prezygotic and postzygotic barriers and appreciate their relevance in the speciation process.
- Understand the outcomes of interspecific breeding, such as hybrid sterility and hybrid inviability.
