### Ranking Isolating Mechanisms by Specificity

**Question:**
Rank the following in order from most general to most specific:

1. Gametic isolation
2. Reproductive isolating mechanism
3. Sperm-egg incompatibility in sea urchins
4. Prezygotic isolating mechanism

**Answer Choices:**
- ○ 2, 3, 1, 4
- ○ 2, 4, 1, 3
- ○ 4, 1, 2, 3
- ○ 4, 2, 1, 3

When considering isolating mechanisms in evolutionary biology, "Reproductive isolating mechanism" is the most general term, encompassing both prezygotic and postzygotic barriers. Next, "Prezygotic isolating mechanism" is a broad category that includes barriers preventing mating or fertilization. "Gametic isolation" is a more specific type of prezygotic mechanism where sperm and egg are incompatible. Finally, "Sperm-egg incompatibility in sea urchins" is the most specific example, referring explicitly to gametic isolation in a particular species.

Correct Ranking: **2, 4, 1, 3**
