Question
**Speciation**

Mating at different times of the year is a __________ barrier to reproduction.

- ☐ postzygotic
- ☐ prezygotic

**Explanation of Terms:**

- **Postzygotic Barriers**: These are reproductive barriers that occur after fertilization, often leading to non-viable or sterile offspring.

- **Prezygotic Barriers**: These barriers prevent mating or fertilization from occurring, such as differences in timing, behavior, or ecological niches. In this context, mating at different times of the year is a prezygotic barrier, as it prevents different species or populations from interbreeding by timing.
