5. All organisms have
physical traits, and
they may have the
same morphological
structures but
belong to a different
species.

7. Limitations: Organisms
may be alike but of
different species, as They
can mate but produce
infertile offspring.

Example: Asian elephants
and African elephants which
are reproductively isolated
can produce calves if they
are able to meet because
they belong to the same
species .
10. Limitations: Due to several
phenomena such as sexual dimorphism
(difference in form between individuals of
different sex in the same species),
polymorphism (genetic variations among
members of single species), and age
differences, the same species develop
strikingly morphological differences

11. 4. NOMINALISTIC
SPECIES
CONCEPT (NSC)
believed that only individuals exist while species are man’s
creation. Organisms were only termed as species for the
sake of classifying closely-resembled individuals.
In 1859, together with Alfred Wallace, Charles Darwin
considered “species as the fundamental units of evolution”
which provided the most coherent and detailed definition and
since Earth is composed of huge biodiversity of living things.

14. HIERARCHICAL
TAXONOMIC
CLASSIFICATION
Carolus von Linnaeus
“Father of Taxonomy”
Introduce Binomial nomenclature (two-part
name for species) and hierarchical
classification as an organized way of naming
and describing organisms and their relationship
to one another.
