Is the biological species concept is useful only for extinct organisms?
No, biological species concept is NOT useful for extinct organisms at all, nor organisms that reproduce asexually; it is only useful for organisms that produce sexually.
How is species defined as the biological species concept?
Organisms are the same species if the have the potential, or actually interbreed one with another. Does not apply to all organisms. Bacteria being an example of this. Is not as strong a concept as once it was as it did not adequately address hybridization.
A group of similar organisms that can reproduce?
A biological species.
Which of the various species concepts identifies species based on the degree of genetic exchange between their gene pools?
Biological species concept :)
What are Problems in the biological species concept?
There are two main problems that can be identified in the biological species concept. This concept emphiasizes interfertility between organisms. However, reproductive barriers between sexual reproducing species are not always effective. Sometimes, individuals of different species interbreed and produce offspring call hybrids. Also this concept fails to describe species that are predominantly asexual in their reproduction, including all bacteria as well as some protists, fungi, plants, and even a few animals.

The biological species concept assumes that organisms regularly?
evolve
What are the differences between the morphological species concept biological species concept and phylogenetic species concept?
The morphological species concept differentiates species by their physical traits, basically. The biological species concept defines a species as generally organisms that breed with others of the same species; rather a genetic isolation concept. The phylogenetic concept is based on evolutionary relationships and is the concept used by cladists.
What is the principle that defines a species as a group of organisms whose members can interbreed to produce offspring?
biological species concept
Why the biological species concept cannot be used to identify fossil organisms?
Some organisms have no bones to leave behind. Even so, the conditions have to be perfect for a fossil to be formed: they have to die in a riverbed; no other animals can damage the bones; sedimants have to slowly build up without the bones being moved ; and finally they have to be discovered by a person.

An individual organism?
Species (under the Biological Species Concept).
A group of similar organisms that can reproduce?
A biological species.
What are the 5 species concepts?
Biological species concept, phenetic species concept, reproductive competition species concept, evolutionary species concept, and the recognition species concept.
