Answer:Reproductive isolation is why different species of animals and plants are not able to interbreed with one another. Speciation, or when one species splits into two or more species, is to be blamed for many cases of reproductive isolation within similar types of organisms

Reproductive isolation refers to the situation where different species may live in the same area, but properties of individuals prevent them from interbreeding. The things which stop species or groups of organisms reproducing sexually are called isolating mechanisms.

Some examples of pre-zygotic barriers include temporal isolation, ecological isolation, behavioral isolation, and mechanical isolation. With temporal isolation, the two species never come into contact with each other because they are not active at the same time, or they have different mating seasons.
