A study of two populations of similar organisms determined that the two populations were different species using the phylogenetic species concept. Is it possible for the two populations to also be defined as two different species using the biological species concept? Explain your answer.
What is similar structure that related species have inherited from a common ancestor are called
A cladogram used in a comparison of morphology among taxa had equal length branches, but when looked at in a blast webpage using the given gene sequence, the branches all had different lengths. Why is that?
