WHAT IS A SPECIE

1 answer

A species (singular) is a group of living organisms that share similar physical and genetic traits, and are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. The word 'species' is derived from the Latin word 'specere', which means 'to look at'. A species is often identified by its unique scientific name, which consists of two parts - the genus and the species name. For example, Homo sapiens is the scientific name for humans, where '' is the genus and 'sapiens' is the species name.
