Speciation refers to the formation of new species through evolutionary changes in populations over time. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Postzygotic barriers act after fertilization reducing hybrid viability or fertility, including hybrid inviability where embryos abort, hybrid sterility where mule with 63 chromosomes cannot produce functional gametes due to mismatched pairing, and hybrid breakdown where second generation has low fitness. These arise from Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities accumulating after divergence. Mule exemplifies sterility. Therefore After fertilization represents postzygotic isolation maintaining species boundaries after mating. This concept integrates genetics, ecology and molecular evidence, frequent
