Since 1942, Ernst Mayr defined 'species' as populations that can reproduce with one another
but not with other populations One problem with this definition is that it applies only to
mammals, beds and raffles it does not apply to 90% of all Irving organisms The phylogenetic
species concept is based on sexual reproduction descent from common ancestors The author of
the article Can Zimmer, argues that the problem of defining microbial species is arbitrary and
irrelevant important for public health The author Zimmer points out that there are only two
valid definitions of species at least 26 current concepts of species For the sake of convenience,
Darwin defined the term species as based on mutual fertility resemblance among individuals
genetic mutations
Solution
1 . Ootion A
Ernst mayr's concept of species applies to only those organisms that can sexually reproduce. He
did not mention or involve other organisms such as prokaryotes, plants, fungi , bacteria who
undergo asexual reproduction.
His idea of species was limited to birds, mammals and reptiles .
