Spices
A group of organisms that can interbreed in nature and produce fertile offspring
2million species have been identified
Scientist believe there are 5-100 million spices on earth
List the 3 spices concepts
Morphological species concept
Biological species concept
Phylogenetic species concept
What is the morphological species concept
Focuses on body structure
Compares measurements and descriptions of similar organisms,taking into Account that species change over time and they have variation once comparisons are completed scientists decide whether or not similar organisms represents different species
Biological species concept
Focuses on interbreeding
The ability of organisms to interbreed in nature and produce viable fertile offspring
This means that if two individual organisms can mate under natural circumstances and they produce offspring that can live and reproduce then those two individuals are the same species
Phylogenetic species concept
Focuses on common ancestors
Focuses on evolutionary relationships among organisms
A specie is defined as a cluster of organisms that is distinct from other clusters and shows a pattern of relationship among organisms
Biodiversity
Refers to the variety of life in the world
What are the 3 types of biodiversity
Genetic diversity
Spices diversity
Ecosystem diversity
Genetic diversity
Is the sum of all different forms of genes present in a particular spices
Gene pool
Is the sum of all the versions of all the genes in a population
Species diversity
The variety and abundance of a species in a given area
Ecosystem diversity
The variety of ecosystems in the biosphere
Prokaryotes
Small and simple sells lacking a nuclear is lacking membrane bonded organelles
They are Unicellular one cell
Ex. Bacteria
Eukaryotes
Larger and complex they have membrane bonded organelles including nuclear
Example humans and plants
