Question

Explain giving examples what you mean by a 'species'.

Answer 1

Each type of living organism has many individuals which are broadly similar to each other. Individuals may differ slightly but their behaviour, habits or appearance are quite similar. Such a group constitutes a species. Members of a species inhabit the same environment, eat the same kind of food and reproduce among themselves.

For example, all pigs are a species, humans form a species, oak trees are a species of trees etc.
