Seven thousand years ago, a species of oryx indigenous to the Arabian Peninsula was separated when an earthquake caused an insurmountable barrier to form between different geological segments of the population. A recent population genetics study showed that the two populations were no longer able to successfully interbreed. Careful testing of these two species found that a physiological change in one species was responsible for the mating incompatibility between the two populations. What best describes the nature of this mating incompatibility?

25% straight black hair
25% curly brown hair
25% straight brown hair
