No, one of the deciding factor when it comes to categorizing animals into different species is whether or not they can produce offspring. Different kinds of dogs can "mix" even if they are different breeds because they are still part of the same species. While all turtles are part of the same "Order", in biological terminology, if the turtles are classified as different species, they will not produce viable offspring.

When two species become so different that they can no longer breed it is called what?

On my worksheet for biology the possible answers for that exact question areinfertilityextinctionisolationselection.hope that narrows it down_____________________________The answer is: isolation.


What is crossbreeding?

To produce a hybrid animal by breeding two animals of different species. For example, crossbreeding a male donkey with a female horse will produce a mule. To hybridize. Hybridization


What two things can happen to a population of species if they do not adapt?

I think the two things for population of species if they do not adapt. The answer I think is sea turtles,and salmon.


If two populations have been reproductively isolated and can no longer breed and produce fertile offspring the process of what has occurred?

If two populations of the same species no longer interbreed then their differences will start to become more pronounced and eventually they will become so different that they will be classified as two different sub-species.


When two different types of species of fireflies mate at different times of the night is that temporal isolation?

Yes, that is an example of temporal isolation. Temporal isolation occurs when two species breed at different times, preventing them from mating even if they inhabit the same area. In this case, if two species of fireflies mate at different times of the night, they are reproductively isolated from each other due to their differing mating schedules. This mechanism helps maintain species boundaries and reduces the likelihood of hybridization.
