Question

The members of which of the following taxonomical category are derived from a common ancestor whether present in one population or different populations?

• A. Genus
• B. Sub kingdom
• C. Species
• D. Phylum

Answer 1

The correct option is C Species

Species comprises related organisms that share common characteristics and are capable of interbreeding. Their capability of interbreeding and producing offspring by mating makes all the members of same species related in such a way that they had a common ancestor at some point in time. Their ancestor produced offspring which later produced their own offspring by mating among themselves. This went on for generations resulting in a large population.

So, the correct option is 'Species'.
