Do all living organisms reproduce offspring?
If reproduce means producing offspring/copies of itself, then yes. If reproduce means reproducing sexually (not asexually), then no. Bacteria reproduce through asexual reproduction -- making exact copies of themselves.
What it's called when you are not capable of producing offspring?
Infertility.
What is the term for when a species is separated for such a long time they become unable to reproduce with each other and they are now two different species?
The term for this process is called reproductive isolation or speciation. It occurs when genetic and reproductive barriers prevent individuals of two populations from interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. Over time, this can lead to the formation of two distinct species.
What is the probability of producing a homozygous dominant offspring from the cross of AA and AA?
1/16
Are organisms in kingdom protista capable of producing their own food?
Yes and no.
What occurs when forerly interbreeding organisms are prevented from producing fertile offspring?
If the species is prevented from producing fertile offspring - the species will eventually become extinct.
What is the species?
A species is often defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring
A group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring is known as?
Species
3 things needed to be a species?
A species is a group of organisms that have the capacity of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.
What groups is the smallest level of classification?
genus
Which groups is the smallest level of classification?
The smallest level of classification is a species. It is the basic unit of classification and represents a group of organisms that are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.
These are groups of reproducing populations that are isolated from other groups?
the answer is SPECIES BECAUSE the common definition is that of a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring of both genders, and separated from other such groups with which interbreeding does not (normally) happen. Other definitions may focus on similarity of DNA or morphology.
Which taxon includes only orgnisms that can successfully interbreed?
The taxon that includes only organisms that can successfully interbreed is species. Members of the same species are capable of producing fertile offspring through interbreeding.
What does species?
A species is often defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. (This can be a rather "fuzzy" definition and scientists have been debating the term for a long time.)(Biology) taxonomic group whose members can interbreeda specific kind of something; "a species of molecule"; "a species of villainy"
Can several totally different organisms can be included in a species?
No. The definition of a species is often defined as the largest group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. If several are totally different they don't fit the definition.
Which premise used by Darwin was incorrectly stated?
organisms that possess advantageous traits have a decreased chance of producing offspring
Is Organisms can reproduce asexually by splitting in two forming buds developing spores and by producing offspring from a piece of the parent True or false?
No I can't
