How are common traits used in the defining of a species?
Some traits are derived from the species' genome, and a species is defined as a group of organisms that are genetically similar enough to leave fertile offspring.
A group of organisms sharing similar characteristics?

What is species definded as?
A species is a group of organisms that share similar physical, metabolical and behavioral traits, which can interbreed to make fertile offspring.For example, horses and donkeys can breed to make a mule, but as it is infertile, horses and donkeys are separate species.

When different species with unrelated ancestors develop similar traits this is called?

A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring?
A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring are species.
What is a group of different or similar species?

How is an ecomorph different from a species in terms of their ecological adaptations and physical characteristics?
An ecomorph is a group of species that share similar ecological adaptations and physical characteristics to thrive in a specific environment. In contrast, a species refers to a distinct group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Ecomorphs can include multiple species that have evolved similar traits to occupy the same ecological niche, while a species is a more specific classification based on genetic similarities.
Compare convergent divergent parallel evolution?
Convergent evolution is when two unrelated species develop similar traits due to adapting to similar environments. Divergent evolution is when two species with a common ancestor develop different traits due to adapting to different environments. Parallel evolution is when two related species independently develop similar traits due to adapting to similar environments, but they do share a recent common ancestor.
What is the plural possessive of the word species?
The possessive form of the plural uncountable noun species is species'.example: This species' traits are similar to most primates.
