A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring?

A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring are species.


In which group of organisms are the members more closely associated?

The members of a species are more closely associated compared to individuals of different species within a population. Members of a population are more closely related compared to individuals from different populations within the same species.


What terms refers to one or more populations whose members are capable of interbreeding?

If animals can breed and produce a viable (fertile) offspring they are termed a "species". Often two closely related species can inter-breed and produce an offspring that will be a non-viable (sterile) hybrid. An example of the later would be the cross-breeding of a horse with a donkey.This cross produces a "Mule", which is sterile & unable to reproduce.


What does inscest mean?

"Incest" is a sexual relationship between family members who are closely related by blood. It is considered taboo in many cultures and illegal in most societies due to the potential harm and risks associated with genetic disorders in offspring.


What is the relationship between the terms genus, species, and family in the classification of organisms?

In the classification of organisms, the terms genus, species, and family are hierarchical levels. A genus is a group of closely related species, while a species is a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Families are groups of related genera.

How do you compare inbreading and hybridization?

Inbreeding is the mating of closely related parents whereas hybridization is the breeding of quite different parents just closely enough related to produce offspring.


What species are?

Species is a group of living things that are so closely related that they can breed with one another and produce offspring that can breed as well.


Can a tiger crossbreed with a sheep?

No, tigers and sheep belong to different genera and families. They are not closely related enough to produce offspring through crossbreeding.


What family of mammals are the extinct members of Adapisoriculidae closely related to?

They are closely related to hedgehogs.


What is the cross between a badger and a raccoon?

There is no such animal. Raccoons and badgers are from different families and not closely enough related so could not produce offspring.


Is species a category of related organisms?

Yes, a species is a category used in biological classification to group together organisms that have similar characteristics and can interbreed to produce fertile offspring. Members of the same species are considered to be more closely related to each other than to members of other species.


When two animals that are closely related have an offspring it is referred to as .?

Inbreeding!


What is a group of closely relates organisms that cannot mate?

A group of closely related organisms that cannot mate are considered different species. Species are defined as groups of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring with one another. When individuals from different groups are unable to produce viable offspring due to genetic differences, they are considered separate species.


A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring?

A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring are species.


What taxa includes organisms that are the most closely related?

The taxon that includes organisms that are most closely related is a species. Organisms within the same species share a high degree of genetic similarity and can interbreed to produce fertile offspring.


Is it possible for a human to become pregnant by sex with an animal?

No. No species on earth is closely related enough to humans to produce offspring. Although hybrid animals do exist, they are the product of very closely related animals usually in the same genus (example: horses and donkeys are bred to produce mules). We are the only living species in our genus, other members went extinct long ago.
