Answer:

speciation

Step-by-step explanation:

Reproductive isolation is the existence of barrier that limits breeding or reproduction among organisms living in the same environment. These barriers can be mechanical, behavioral, physiological, genetic, etc.

Reproductive isolation process can be pre-zygotic or post zygotic. While the later act after fertilization, the former prevents fertilization from occuring.

Organisms that are reproductively isolated evolve along different path and eventually become different species.
