a group of organisms that look alike and can reproduce among themselves is called a species. Sometimes you get this confused with a genus, or even a family. EXAMPLE:
"_______ is/are NOT a characteristic of all primates"
A.) BINOCULAR VISION
B.) OBNOXIOUS BODY ODOR
C.) FLEXIBLE SHOULDERS
D.) OPPOSABLE THUMBS
the correct answer to this question would be, A. all primates do give off a body odor which is often used for attracting a mate, and to identify which "clan" they belong to. They have flexible shoulders, obviously as we watch them swing through trees. opposable thumbs are only something primates have, besides humans of course..
A species refers to a group of similar organisms that can reproduce and produce fertile offspring. Members of the same species share common characteristics and can interbreed to create viable offspring. This ability to reproduce is what distinguishes a species from other taxonomic classifications.
false
Organisms create new organisms that are similar to themselves through the process of reproduction. In sexual reproduction, two parents each contribute genetic material to create offspring that share characteristics of both parents. In asexual reproduction, a single parent can produce offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
species
they must have some similar characteristics like nutrition, habitat, internal systems,and many other similar characteristics..... the animal which possess similar characteristics put into a kingdom...
A group of organisms that can mate and produce offspring which can themselves mate is called a species.

a group of similar organisms can produce offspring
reproduce
Organisms require energy to survive and metabolize nutrients. Organisms possess genetic material that codes for their characteristics. Organisms have the ability to reproduce and pass on traits to offspring. Organisms respond to their environment through behaviors and physiological mechanisms. Organisms have a complex organization at the cellular and molecular level.
to Reproduce
Jellyfish and llamas are both pluricellular, eucaryotic, heterotroph living organisms belonging to Kingdom Animalia, and both can reproduce themselves sexually.
a species.
They eat, they exrete, they respire, they reproduce and they die.
Viruses are similar to living organisms because both contain hereditary material (RNA or DNA), and both reproduce. Viruses are different from living organisms because they do not use energy to grow, and do not use energy to respond to their surroundings.
The characteristics of living organisms are: They come from similar organisms, grow up to be like the organisms they came from (barring harmful mutations), they take in nourishment, they reproduce similar organisms, then they mature and die. Another answer There are about 7 characteristics that need to be present to define an organism as 'living'. These are reproduction, use of energy (acquired from nutrition and cellular respiration), sensitivity to the environment, genetic transfer of characteristics to offspring (resulting in adaptation and microevolution, and on the larger scale, macroevolution), growth, movement and homoeostasis (the maintainance of fairly constant internal environments).
A group of organisms that produce offspring like themselves are often referred to as a species. Members of a species typically share similar genetic characteristics and are capable of interbreeding to produce fertile offspring. This reproductive continuity is a key feature of species.
