Which of the following statements is TRUE?

• A) Response times to a neutral cue are faster than response times to a correct high-validity cue.
• B) Response times to an incorrect low-validity cue are faster than response times to a neutral cue.
• C) There is no difference in response times between either a neutral cue or an incorrect low-validity cue.
• D) Response times to a neutral cue are faster than response times to an incorrect low-validity cue.

Reproductive Isolating Barriers

Biological features of organisms that prevent species from interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.

Prezygotic

Pertaining to mechanisms that prevent fertilization or successful reproduction between different species before the formation of a zygote.

Postzygotic

Pertaining to the biological and evolutionary processes that occur after the formation of a zygote, particularly those that influence reproductive success and viability.

Pre-Mating

Pertains to processes or behaviors that occur before the act of reproduction, often involving mate selection or courtship in animals.
