Asexual reproduction creates duplicate organisms in which mutation occurs by a different process than sexual specialization.
*Viruses, because they can mutate to have different specific hosts or effects, are sometimes considered "non-living" despite their ability to reproduce and change.

It's not so much the organism or a type of organism that is difficult to define as a species but rather the differences in the theories regarding the definition of the word 'species'. For example the Biological species concept and phylogenetic species concept can be at odds when looking at convergent/parallel evolution.

Species are organisms that can breed and give rise to a viable offspring. However, mules (a crossbreed of a donkey and horse) cannot give rise to viable offspring after breeding. It is difficult to apply the term species when referring to such organisms.

Taxonomy is another term for the classification categories into which organisms are placed.
species
Define the term Species. If two organisms belong to the same family, what other classification levels do they have in common with one another. They also belong to the same kingdom, phylum, class and order.
