Two organisms are very similar both in terms of molecular and physical characteristics

However, there is at least one characteristic that is not shared by these organisms—each

thus these organisms do not interbreed. As a result, what is likely the lowest taxonomic
classification that is shared by these organisms?



a. species
b. genus
c. family
d. order
