Students have asked these similar questions
Is the biological species definition likely to work well for classifying insects in amber? Plants that reproduce asexually? Fish in an aquarium?
n which situation would it make sense to use the morphological species concept?     When you are able to collect data about how individuals in your study use their habitat, but you are unable to determine if they interbreed     When working with fossils from extinct organisms     When you only have genetic data about each organism in your study     When you are not able to collect data about how individuals in your study use their habitat, but you are able to collect reproductive data
The biological species concept defines a species by its morphology. In other words all members of the same species look alike? True or false?
