- 12) Instead of 1 uniform definition, biologist use over 20 different definitions of "species". Why? A) Because scientists searching for life on other planets do not want to be restricted to the narrow definition that applies to earth based life forms B) Because historically biologist have argued over the correct definition of this term and therefore have split into seperate "camps" for different definitions C) Because life includes both sexual and asexually reproducing organisms D) Because life is so diverse that no single definition used so far can be uniformly applied in a meaningful way to all organismsarrow_forwardWhat taxonomic group would you like to write about?
