    The existence of reproductive isolation of different species is a particularly meaningful thing, otherwise the whole biological world will be chaotic. Reproductive isolation is not just specific to humans and other species, but the existence of reproductive isolation between all species is a sign of the birth of a new species.

    It is known that there are currently about 2 million species on Earth, and there is reproductive isolation as long as they are different species. Due to the geographical isolation of a population, it has not met for hundreds of thousands of years, and the two separated populations cannot communicate genes. With the development of a long period of time, the genes of the two populations of individuals mutate or mutate, and finally accumulate and are selected by the natural environment, and they have different shapes for a long time.

    At the beginning, two subspecies will be formed, and at this stage they belong to the same species and can mate to produce fertile offspring.

    If the final development direction of the two subspecies continues, it may become two species, at this time, even if the kinship is very close, even in some special environments can mate, but it is generally difficult to produce offspring or the offspring is sterile. The existence of reproductive isolation can generally be divided into many types, and the courtship or mating behavior of different species is different, to take a simple example: if one bird courtes another species in its own way, but this behavior is more like a provocation than a courtship in the eyes of the other person, then the result can be imagined.

    For example, for some flowering plants, the flowering period of both species is not the same, and there is no possibility of mating at all.

    There are also some closely related species, even if they can mate with the forcible intervention of humans, but the embryos formed after the union of gametes cannot develop. Further, mating between a tiger and a lion produces offspring liger or tiger lion, but their offspring are infertile, which is also a kind of reproductive isolation, and the same is true for the hybridization between horses and donkeys.

    And this is especially true of humans, at present, there is only one species of Homo sapiens under the genus Homo sapiens, and modern humans are the direct descendants of Homo sapiens. About 15 million years ago, the ancestors of humans and modern apes (chimpanzees, gorillas, etc.) have begun to diverge, and until now, in this process, human beings have also given birth to many "cousins", such as Neanderthals, Homo erectus, Thoreau, Madame Ludaux, craftsmen, etc., but in the process of development, other species have become extinct one after another, and only Homo sapiens remains under the genus Homo sapiens.

    Although we can reach 98% genetic similarity with gorillas, since we are different species, there is reproductive isolation, and we still have 50% genetic similarity with bananas! This state of affairs also shows that life on the earth is indeed evolved from the same root and origin.

    The black hole of literature and science, the **** network invasion and deletion.

    In fact, this is also the result of the evolution of humans and other species. It has to be said that reproductive isolation is not only peculiar to us humans and other species, but is a sign of the birth of new species, and it is also the reproductive isolation that exists between all species.

    Different biological species have different reproductive isolation, and its existence has special significance, otherwise the entire biological system such as human evolution will be chaotic, which is also a sign of the birth of a new biological clock.

    Reproductive isolation is actually very normal, because it is two species, human beings are very intelligent, and they walk standingly, unlike animals that walk on all fours, so reproduction must be isolated.

    This is a regulation that nature has naturally evolved for the sake of random mixing between species, and only in this way can the integrity and independence of each species be maintained without causing confusion.

    Because the body secretions of humans and other animals are very different, poisoning and other phenomena can occur if they are not isolated. Then it's the humans who are hurting, so they can't mate with animals.

    Are classes reproductively isolated from all living things? What exactly does this phenomenon mean? Human beings are the highest creatures of nature, and Chinese scientists have clearly pointed out that human beings evolved from apes based on scientific research.

    In the process of evolution, there are actually many types of humans, such as early Homo sapiens, cave man, Neanderthals, etc. According to the current view of our academic community, Neanderthals are the only ones who are not reproductively isolated from people today. All other organisms are reproductively isolated from humans.

    Reproductive isolation is a natural system that exists among different populations in nature. It ensures that there are no offspring or sterile offspring between different populations. Similarly, there is reproductive isolation between people and other populations, but there is no reproductive isolation between people and subspecies.

    For example, reproductive offspring can grow between Chinese and black Africans. This means that there is no reproductive isolation between the two.

    The reproductive isolation of people from other microorganisms means that people and other microorganisms cannot produce offspring. It also ensures the integrity of the human genome. Imagine that if there were no reproductive isolation between people and other organisms, there would be no racial restrictions among the microorganisms of nature.

    And different microbial breeding may also produce new varieties due to the diversification of genetic genes. But most of the chances are that the organism that causes the abnormal contains a serious disease, and the disease is incurable for life. This would be unfortunate for even the slightest population.

    If there is no reproductive isolation between people and other organisms, it is very likely that the original genetic order of people will be disrupted by the genes of other organisms. In the long run, it is very likely that the genes of human beings will disappear, and then people may perish on such an earth. What a horrible thing this is!

    Therefore, reproductive isolation is designed to prevent such tragedies. The reproductive isolation between humans and other organisms means that there are differences between people and other organisms, in fact, in order to preserve the genes of human beings from being destroyed. It can ensure that people live a normal life.

    Yes, of course. This allows us to dig deeper into the issue of genes, which is also to avoid the extinction of the species.

    Because human beings are isolated from each other, so as to ensure the normality of the human world, human beings are the highest level of primates, compared to other creatures, they do not have the consciousness unique to human beings, which is why human beings are isolated and reproductive isolation of all living beings.

    Because the way of reproduction between different substances is not the same, the genes are not the same, so there is some reproductive isolation.

    It is an evolutionary mechanism and also to prevent offspring from being produced between members of different species, and the offspring are unable to be fertile.

  14. Anonymous users2024-01-30

    Yes. The significance of reproductive isolation is that it can prevent humans and animals from reproducing offspring, can protect human health, does not cause the emergence of mutated species, and does not affect genes.

  15. Anonymous users2024-01-29

    Yes, of course. The genetic integrity and stability of the species can be preserved, which is conducive to the development of the species. It can also allow the next generation to reproduce, with good quality and inherit excellent genes.

    The so-called reproductive isolation is the inability to produce offspring or the infertility of the offspring produced by the union. Therefore, strictly speaking, it can be said that as long as there is reproductive isolation, it is a different species.

    There is no reproductive isolation between dogs and wolves! Dogs such as German Huskies can cross with wolves and give birth to fertile offspring.

    For various reasons, the isolation mechanism that makes groups with close kinship not mate under natural conditions, and even if they can mate, they cannot produce offspring or cannot produce fertile offspring, which is called reproductive isolation. And as long as there is no reproductive isolation, it is the same species, so there must be reproductive isolation between different species.

    There is not necessarily reproductive isolation between different populations, it may only be geographical isolation, but because the time is not too long, such as the South China tiger and the Siberian tiger, they still belong to the same species, and the concept of population is only all individuals of the same species that occupy a certain space for a certain period of time. But a species can have many populations, so not necessarily, after all, a species is distributed in different places and is also different populations

    You just need to remember that as long as there is reproductive isolation, it must not be the same species, and even if it gives birth to offspring, it is also sterile, such as the birth of a donkey. And with only geographical isolation, not necessarily.

    Not necessarily, anyway, some of the reptiles and amphibians that I have identified are still fertile in their offspring from different species of the same genus.

    Humans and all living things are reproductively isolated, and the offspring produced by the mating of different species can produce offspring with reproductive ability to be considered a true reproductive success.

    If a species is generated, but it can't reproduce offspring, and the first two species that bred it burp, then the species is extinct, so what is the talk of reproduction? Horses and donkeys can give birth to mules, but mules do not have the ability to reproduce offspring, soIf one day the two species of horses and donkeys become extinct, the mule will cease to exist. Reproductive isolation is a protective mechanism that maintains the stability of genes and prevents disturbances in the balance of biological populations.

    As early as the twentieth century, scientists in the former Soviet Union tried to combine the genes of humans and chimpanzees, humans and gorillas, but no offspring were born, so there must be reproductive isolation between humans and other species

    In our daily lives, we find that many species are not able to produce offspring in their natural state, mainly because there is reproductive isolation between speciesBut humans are higher animals, so some people often wonder if humans are reproductively isolated from all living things. Why? The answer, of course, is yes, humans are reproductively isolated from all living things, because if there wasn't reproductive isolation, the earth would be out of order.

    We all know that horses and donkeys can give birth to mules, while lions and tigers can give birth to ligers. However, due to the differences in the number of genes and chromosomes between different species, different species are unable to reproduce, or the offspring are infertile. This phenomenon is biologically known as reproductive isolation.

  35. Anonymous users2024-01-09

    Yes, the number of chromosomes is different, and the species are different, which will produce reproductive isolation.
