Question

unit review - evolution of populations mouse population a lives on one side of this mountain. mouse population b lives on the other side of the mountain. these populations never interact because there is a mountain range between them. this means they never get a chance to breed with each other. what type of reproductive barrier is this? neither postzygotic prezygotic

Explanation:

Prezygotic barriers prevent mating or fertilization. Here, the mountain range is a geographical pre - zygotic barrier that stops the two mouse populations from mating. Postzygotic barriers occur after fertilization. Since the populations never get a chance to breed due to the physical separation, it is a prezygotic barrier.

Answer:

C. prezygotic
