Which grouping includes only members of the same species?
Answers
in biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologistsuse the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. While these definitions may seem adequate, when looked at more closely they represent problematic species concepts. For example, the boundaries between closely related species become unclear with hybridisation.
Answer:
population - A group of organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time, and which are capable of interbreeding. community - A group of populations living and interacting with each other in a common habitat. ... habitat - The environment in which a species normally lives.
