Question

Organisms that have the ability to produce fertile, viable offspring are said to be

• A. Members of the same species
• B. Genetically similar
• C. Possessive of haploid gametes
• D. In possession of the same alleles for every gene
• E. Living in the same environment

Answer 1

The correct option is A Members of the same species

Species is the fundamental or smallest unit of classification. Species is a group of individuals which resemble each other in morphological, physiological, biochemical and behavioural characters. These individuals are capable of inbreeding freely in between themselves under natural conditions but are incapable of breeding with the members of other species. The reproductive isolation is an important boundary between different species.

So, the correct answer is Members of the same species.
