What is true for individuals of same species ?
- Live in same habitat
- Live in different habitat
- Interbreeding
- Live in same niche
Answer
(3) Interbreeding
Solution
As per NCERT, a species is a group of individual organisms with fundamental similarities; by the biological species concept (Mayr), its members can interbreed freely in nature and produce fertile offspring.
⇒ Members of one species may live in the same or in different habitats, so habitat or niche does not define a species.
∴ Interbreeding is true for individuals of the same species.
