Two taxonomic species are distinguished from each other by (a) their failure to interbreed.
- Organisms are classified and grouped under various taxonomic categories.
- Some of these are Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Species, etc.
- Organisms belonging to the same taxa share certain similar characteristic features.
- Species is the lowest taxonomic category. Members of the same species are able to interbreed.
- Two taxonomic species cannot naturally interbreed to produce fertile offspring.
- For example, horses and donkeys belong to different taxonomic categories. Even if they are artificially interbred, the offspring (called a mule) is infertile and cannot continue its generation.
