Open in App
Solution

Species:

  1. Species refer to a group of organisms in which two individuals of the opposite sex can participate in sexual reproduction to produce offspring.
  2. The unique feature that distinguishes different species is their reproductivity.
  3. Members of different species cannot mate with each other and are incompatible.
  4. Members of different species cannot interbreed to produce healthy offspring due to prezygotic and postzygotic barriers.
  5. New species can be formed as a result of speciation and are created when a group of organisms are isolated and thus diverge.
