The purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) and a sympatric species known as the red sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus franciscanus) release their gametes into the Pacific Ocean at the same time, but the sperm cells of each species fail to fertilize the egg cells of the other species due to different membrane proteins. This prevention of interspecific fertilization in sea urchins is: a post-zygotic barrier known as F1 hybrid inviability a pre-zygotic barrier known as habitat isolation a post-zygotic barrier known as F1 hybrid sterility a pre-zygotic barrier known as gamete isolation a pre-zygotic barrier known as temporal isolation
