Means a species always has that potential to breed, one with another. Still, different populations of that species may be too geographically divided to actually interbreed.

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 are members of a group that can interbreed called?
Members of a group that have the ability to interbreed and produce fertile offspring are called "species". This is the zoolocigal definition and name for the group.
How can the evolutionary history of a species be displayed?
The evolutionary history of a species is often displayed in a phylogenetic tree. This will clearly show the history of the species, which is also known as phylogeny.
Why do new species form?
According to the biological species concept, when the new species no longer can interbreed with the ancestral species, or with the population that it has been geographically isolated from long enough to have allele change significantly enough to prevent interbreeding.
What is evolutionary heritage?
Evolutionary heritage means the history of life before the species being studied. For example, what sort of life came before humans, horses, birds and even fish. The progression of one species into another until the species seen today.
What scientist mean by the biological 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.
What species concept defines a species as a group of organisms that are able to reproduce successfully in the wild?
Able to interbreed in the wild would be the biologicalspecies concept.
What are the 5 species concepts?
Biological species concept, phenetic species concept, reproductive competition species concept, evolutionary species concept, and the recognition species concept.
What is the principle that defines a species as a group of organisms whose members can interbreed to produce offspring?
biological species concept
What is evolutionary species concept the species?
God made life. God is good.
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 species is composed of?
It depends if they are all in the same biome and area of the world or if they are just random animals in a species. It could also depend on what they eat as well as what animal kingdom they are from. What type of animals do you mean?
What evolutionary concept is indicated when the weakest members of a species is killed off?
Negative natural selection.
A group of organisms that can interbreed is called a?
When a group of organisms can interbreed they are considered a species. Humans can interbreed and produce other humans because they are the same species.

Can Southern African San people and Australian Aborigines have a fertile offspring?
Of course the can. Humans are one species under the biological species concept and all populations of humans can interbreed.
Are horses the only species that can interbreed?
No, many other animals can interbreed.
