Discuss biologists’ definition of “species.” What does this definition imply? Give an example of a species and discuss
binomial species names. What will be an ideal response?
The term “species” is a biologic term for a population of similar individuals that in nature
interbreed and produce fertile offspring. A species is reproductively isolated from other
species. If two related species interbreed, the result commonly is a sterile offspring. An
example of a binomial species name is Homo sapiens. Homo is the genus of hominids, which
includes modern humans and other species closely related to them.
