Question

Mrs. Frizzle takes her class on a field trip to the Sahara desert to demonstrate that hippos and crocodiles are different species because they represent a group of individuals that are incapable of breeding with one another and producing fertile offspring. She highlights the fact that the group of crocodiles is reproductively isolated from the group of hippos. What species concept is Mrs. Frizzle operating under in her lesson?

Answer 1

Answer: Is operating under Biological Species Concept

Step-by-step explanation:

The biological species concept defines a species as members of populations that actually or potentially interbreed in nature, not according to similarity of appearance. Although appearance is helpful in identifying species, it does not define species. Organisms may look different and yet be the same species.
