they reproduce to give sterile offspring
example Tigon (lion and tiger)
A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring are species.
Species (novanet)
That's correct. In order to produce offspring, organisms generally need to be of the same species since they share similar genetic material and can produce fertile offspring. Breeding between different species often leads to sterile offspring, like mules from the crossing of a horse and a donkey.
When two organisms from different species reproduce, they produce offspring that are a combination of traits from both parents. This process is called hybridization, and the resulting offspring may have characteristics that are different from either parent species.
An organism is an individual living thing, while a species is a group of organisms that can interbreed to produce fertile offspring. All organisms belong to a species, but a species can consist of many individual organisms.
The way a species produces offspring
To be considered a species, an organism must be able to interbreed and produce viable offspring with other members of the same species. Additionally, they must be reproductively isolated from other species, meaning they do not interbreed with organisms from different species.
Species
No, organisms of different species can breed and produce offspring. Donkeys and horses can breed and produce mules but mules cannot produce offspring.
They are different species. Feline and a canine animals can not mate, and produce offspring.
Species are groups of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. They share similar physical and genetic characteristics. Different species cannot interbreed or produce fertile offspring due to genetic barriers.
A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring are species.
'species' is an organism that can produce fertile offspring through reproduction (with the same species) Do not confuse mule as a species because it can produce fertile offsping when bred with a horse, a mule would ahve to produce fertile offspring when mating with another mule inorder to be classed as a species.
Generally, an organism reproduces to produce offspring that can inherit its traits and continue its lineage. The number of offspring produced can vary significantly between different species and reproductive strategies. Some organisms produce many offspring with low chances of survival, while others produce fewer offspring with higher chances of survival.
No, only organism in the same species can produce fertile offspring. Organisms from the same class sometimes can reproduce, but they cannot produce fertile offspring.
Organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring belong to the same species. For example, two dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) can mate and produce puppies that are also capable of reproducing. This ability to produce fertile offspring is a key criterion in defining species, as it reflects genetic compatibility and reproductive isolation from other species.
A distinct type of organism is called a species. Species are classified based on shared characteristics and can interbreed to produce fertile offspring. They are the basic unit of biological classification.
