Animals will normally breed within their species. This causes no problems with classification. One definition of species is those animals that breed with each other.

Interspecies breeding is only partially successful in closely related species. It is well known to happen between lions and tigers, horses and donkeys, and donkeys and zebra, but only if the animals are in captivity without possiblity of breeding with the correct mates. The offspring are always sterile.

Some cases, such as wolves breeding with domestic dogs, the interbreeding is entirely successful, and offspring are not sterile, which would tend to indicate that wolves and dogs are not a different species but are subspecies.

Animal sub-species do interbreed successfully. Sub-species are very closely related and although the animals may look slightly different, they are of the same species.

WHAT APPLIES TO THE CLASSIFICATION CONCEPT OF CLASSIFICATION BY COMPILATION?

Classification by compilation involves grouping items together based on common characteristics or themes. It may involve organizing information from various sources into a single, cohesive classification system. This approach can help in simplifying complex information and making it more accessible for users.


What is classification through compilation?

Classification through compilation refers to the process of automatically categorizing data or documents by utilizing machine learning algorithms and techniques during the compiling or organizing phase. It involves organizing information into distinct classes or categories based on patterns, features, or characteristics identified during compilation, enabling efficient management and retrieval of data.

What identifies a situation where information about problems is ambiguous or incomplete?

Ambiguity or incompleteness in information about problems can be identified by unclear or conflicting data, gaps in understanding the root cause of issues, or a lack of consensus among stakeholders on the severity or impact of the problem. This uncertainty can hinder effective problem-solving and decision-making processes.
