they can produce fertile offspring
The classification of organisms from general to specific goes: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Therefor, two species the same Genus MUST be members of the same Family. However, a Family may consist of several different Genus, so species in the same Family are not necessarily members of the same Genus.
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.
A group of organisms of the same species living in the same area.
The levels of classification for all organisms is as following (from broadest to narrowest) Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. So organisms that have the same species will be most alike.
A. they will probably die because they have the same genes
they can produce fertile offspring
they can produce fertile offspring
They are considered to be in the same species.
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.
Organisms that belong to the same species can reproduce a fertile offspring.
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.
They must be able to reproduce, and their offspring must be fertile as well. So technically, because ligers are in fact fertile, tigers and lions are one species, regardless of the fact we classify them as two.
Phylum. Organisms in the same class belong to the same phylum, which is a higher taxonomic rank that groups organisms based on shared characteristics.
interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
Organisms of the same species will share common traits.
They are members of the same species.
These organisms are considered to be members of the same species. They are reproductively compatible with each other but genetically isolated from all other organisms.
