Question

Explain how each of the following makes it difficult to clearly define a species: variation within a species, geographically isolated populations, asexual species, fossil organisms.

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone here We have a question that says a sexual organism such as aphids cannot be classified as species according to blank. However, they are considered a species according to the bio genetic species concept. A sexual organisms cannot form a species defined by the biological species concept, and this is because the biological species concept focuses on organisms that can interbreed and can produce viable offspring. However, they can form a species under the morphological species concept. This is because it focuses on form and structure the ecological species concept, because it focuses on similarity in the niche and evolutionary species concept, because it focuses on the similarities in philo genetic wise and all of these are independent of reproduction. So our answer here is see the biological species concept. Thank you for watching. Bye!
