Question 1 Report
Two animals look very similar but, when kept together, they never produce fertile young. What does this observation best suggest about the two animals?
A species is defined by breeding, not by appearance: it is a group of organisms that can reproduce together to produce fertile offspring. Two animals that look alike yet never produce fertile young fail this test, so the observation best suggests they belong to two different species. It is tempting to call them the same species because they resemble each other, but the definition depends on producing fertile offspring, not on looks. Belonging to the same genus while being in different kingdoms is impossible, since a genus already sits inside a single kingdom.
