Why is the classification species not considered a group? Each species is an individual organism, each species shares characteristics with other species, each specie flex the characteristics of levels above, or each species is a separate type of organism. Which one answer is correct
1 answer
The correct answer is that each species is an individual organism. In biological classification, species are the basic unit of classification, with each species representing a group of individual organisms with similar characteristics. Each species is distinct and separate from other species, and they are not considered a group in the same way that higher taxonomic levels such as families, orders, or classes are. Instead, species are considered individual entities within the larger framework of classification.
