Comparisons of appearance, comparisons of structure, and comparisons of DNA and proteins.
True. A species is defined as a group of organisms that can interbreed with one another and produce fertile offspring. This ability to produce viable offspring is a key aspect in determining whether organisms belong to the same species.
Biologists determine whether a thing is living or nonliving by a list of characteristics. These characteristics include the ability to reproduce, the ability to eat, the ability to grow and the ability to excrete waste.
If two organisms are able to mate and produce fertile offspring, then they are of the same species.Horses and donkeys are two different species because if they mate, they produce a mule which is sterile (not fertile). This shows horses and donkeys are of different species.
2.Scientists can tell whether organisms are closely related by comparing their ____.(1 point)DNA, I had this on my test too and I answered DNA and got it right.
Two factors that can determine whether a non-native species becomes invasive are its ability to reproduce rapidly and outcompete native species for resources, and the absence of natural predators or controls in its new habitat.
Biology may use skeletal similarities in determining where extinct animals are placed in relation to surviving species and other extinct species. Chromosomal similarities, whether they are eukaryotes (animals, plants, fungi), or whether they are prokaryotes (bacteria, archaea) are commonly used to classify modern species. Species that are believed to have a similar ancestor are grouped into genuses.
No, the biological species concept can be applied to both extant and extinct organisms. It is a useful framework for defining species based on reproductive isolation and gene flow within populations, regardless of whether those populations currently exist or not.

A species is a group of closely related organisms. Organisms belong to the same species if they can mate and produce fertile offspring. A lion and tiger are not the same species because they can make a liger, but it will not be fertile.
The number of chromosomes. For example, humans have 46.
They are the related because the levels of classification start with Kingdom which is the biggest and end with species which is the smallest. The evolutionary relationships start with many animals or humans and works its way down to one animal or human.
Your question is actually far more difficult to answer than it first appears. The definition of a species, at least to many biologists, is a group of organisms that cannot reproduce with any other group to produce viable offspring. Clearly, an oak tree and humans are different species. However its difficult to say whether some officially distinct species can or cannot reproduce. Humans can't reproduce with oak trees for purely mechanical reasons - our sperm won't fertilize their "eggs", or vice versa. And in the wild (most of the time), lions simply will not mate with tigers, but in a zoo they will, producing a liger. So are they different species in the wild but not in captivity?

DNA contains instructions inside the cell that establish whether an animal will be a tiger or a human. All living things with cells have DNA which are specific to their species.
One of the main ones are whether they are vertebrates orinvertebrates. vertebrates have a spinal column, invertebrates do not. 95% of all animal species do not. I'm not sure what the second one would be.the second one is whether they nurse their youngchordata and mammalia are the two great dividers
