Q. Two organisms with different correlated morphological characters belongs to

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020The Living World

Solution:

Species is a group of similar individuals which produces offspring's that are fertile and capable of interbreeding.
Theodosius Dobzhansky gave the biological species concept defined as "a species as a group of individuals living in one or more populations that can potentially interbreed to produce healthy, fertile offspring."
Species sharing correlated morphological characters will not be considered as a biological species since they cannot produce fertile offsprings.
A natural taxon having pattern/morphological characters shared by all members of the group is considered as taxonomic species.
