A population is a group of organisms of the same species that live in a specific geographical area. In ecology, the population of a certain species in a certain area is estimated using the Lincoln Index.

What is a group of similar organisms that interbreed in nature?

If a group of organisms cannot be interbreed, and create fertile offspring, thent hey are separate species. If the can be interbreed, and the offspring can also interbreed, then they are different sub-species, or phases of the same species.


A group of organisms that can breed together?

A population of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring is referred to as a species. Members of a species share similar characteristics and genetic traits that allow them to reproduce with one another. Interbreeding between organisms of different species typically results in sterile or inviable offspring.


What is A group of potentially interbreeding organisms that may or may not live in the same area is referred to as?

A group of organisms of different species living together in a particular place is called a community. An ecosystem is a community that interacts with the abiotic factors of their environment.


What a species eats and what eats that species is part of its role in the ecosystem is called?

This is known as the species' ecological role or trophic level in the food chain. It helps determine the species' place in the ecosystem and how it interacts with other organisms.


What is a group of unicelluar or multicelluar heterotrophic eukaryotes that do not move from place to place?

These organisms are likely fungi. Fungi are a group of eukaryotic organisms that obtain nutrients by absorbing dissolved organic matter from their surroundings. They can include both unicellular (yeast) and multicellular (molds, mushrooms) forms.

How is population similar to species?

A population is always of the same species, but a species may consist of more than one population. Generally, population is defined as a group of organisms of one species that interbreed and live in the same place at the same time. Species can be defined in different ways, either by looking at the similarities between organisms, or by looking at the interbreeding frequency (in a situation in which populations were to be put in the same habitat). All in all, species is a useful label for classification, but not so useful for constructing biological models.


What is group of the same species living in the same place at the same time?

The organisms of one species living together in the same place at the same time are a population.

What is the smallest group of organisms in which evolution can take place?
