So this question is asking about the biological species concepts.
00:07
So the biological species concept is the idea that individuals of the same species can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
00:22
What does fertile mean? well, those offspring have the ability to change information with other members of the same species and pass on their genetic information, right? okay.
00:36
So another idea behind the biological species concept is that although these species can interbreed and successfully have viable and fertile offspring, they are, in fact, reproductively isolated from members of other species.
01:01
So that means that one species a cannot reproduce the species b.
01:10
They cannot exchange genetic information.
01:14
So an important factor of this biological species concept is that they have to be able to exchange genetic information.
01:29
Now, there are some major issues with the biological species concept, and one of them being that asexual organisms do not reproduce with members of the same species...
