Question

Which is not applicable to the biological species concept?

• A. Hybridization
• B. Natural population
• C. Reproductive isolation
• D. Gene Pool

Answer 1

The correct option is A Hybridization

The biological species concept defines a species as a members of populations that potentially interbreed in nature. The biological species concept explains species resemblance and how some differ from other species. Offspring has fusion of parent's genes. As the generation increases, the genes of different organisms are constantly shuffled around the species gene pool. The shared gene pool gives the species its identity. Genes are not transferred to other species and different species thus, take on a different phenotype. Interbreeding between species is prevented by isolating mechanisms. The biological species concept centers on this inability to successfully hybridize

So, the correct answer is 'Hybridization'
