Sometimes it is very hard to distinguish between a species where there is a lot of variation between that of a variation that is actually two separate species. Many times scientist disagree on how to tell these two things apart.

Explain why there is more variation between a species than within a species?

Within a species, the animals breed together so that the similar characteristics are passed from parents to their offspring. This is why there is less variation within a species than between a species.


What are specific examples of variation within a species?

Human species, as in the variation in height.


What is the name given to the difference in characteristic between organism of the same species?

The difference in characteristics between organisms of the same species is called "genetic variation." This variation can arise from mutations, sexual reproduction, and environmental factors, leading to diversity in traits such as size, color, and behavior within the species. Genetic variation is essential for natural selection and the overall adaptability of populations.


What is the differences between members of the same species called?

It varies based on the organism: breed, race, strain, member are all used.


How can you tell the difference between a girl and boy hummingbird?

As with many species of birds, male hummingbirds are typically more brightly colored than females. In North America, the most common species of hummingbird are the Ruby-Throated and the Rufous. Both species are sexually dimorphic (meaning you can tell the difference between a male and a female by looking at them). Male Ruby-Throated hummers have a bright red gorget (or bib) that the females lack. Likewise, male Rufous hummers have a bright orange gorget, while females do not. When hummingbirds are young and sexually immature, males and females can appear identical. Also, there are a couple of species, such as the Berylline and Buff-bellied hummingbirds, where the color variation between an adult male and female are difficult to distinguish.

No. They are asexual. Which means they separate in order to reproduce by meiosis creating no variation among the species


What is the difference between a variation and a mutation?

How can cocoons be identified in order to distinguish between different species of insects?

Cocoons can be identified by their size, shape, color, and texture. Each species of insect creates a unique type of cocoon, which can help distinguish between different species. Scientists often use specialized tools like microscopes to examine the details of the cocoon to identify the insect species.

Is there a rare breed of white tiger?

No. White tigers are a rare but naturally occurring variation of (usually) the Bengal tiger. As such, they're not considered as a separate species.


Any differences between individuals of the same species?

Of course - look at the many differences existing between the human race.


How can you distinguish between mutualism and commensalism in ecological relationships?

In mutualism, both species benefit from the relationship, while in commensalism, one species benefits and the other is not affected.
