Detailed explanation-1: -According to the biological species concept, organisms belong to the same species if they can interbreed to produce viable, fertile offspring. Species are separated from one another by prezygotic and postzygotic barriers, which prevent mating or the production of viable, fertile offspring.
Detailed explanation-2: -A species is a group of individual organisms that interbreed and produce fertile, viable offspring. According to this definition, one species is distinguished from another when, in nature, it is not possible for matings between individuals from each species to produce fertile offspring.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Biological Species Concept defines a species as a group of organisms that can successfully interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
