EVERYDAY SCIENCE

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: -In this sense, a species is the biggest gene pool possible under natural conditions. For example, these happy face spiders look different, but since they can interbreed, they are considered the same species: Theridion grallator.

Detailed explanation-3: -Quite simply, species are kinds, or types, of organisms. For example, humans all belong to one species (the scientific name of our species is Homo sapiens), and we differ from other species, such as gorillas or dogs or dandelions. But defining, identifying, and distinguishing between species really isn’t that simple.

Detailed explanation-4: -Even within each species, individuals look similar to each other but they are not identical. These differences and similarities are because of many small differences between individuals’ genes. All organisms have DNA and each individual’s DNA is organised into genes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Population. All the organisms of the same species living in a particular locality are called as population.
