Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Example of two different species that looks very similar.
Introduction:
Species can be defines as a group of organisms that shares same genetic heritage and are able to successfully interbreed. Different species are separated from each other by reproductive barriers.
There are some organisms that look very similar but belong to two different species.
