Ever wondered how biologists define species? It's not as simple as you might think!
In this video, we'll discuss two of the most common species concepts:
-Morphological Species Concept, which defines species by physical appearance. But looks can be deceiving...
-Biological Species Concept, which defines species by an ability to successfully mate and produce viable, fertile offspring.
Biology is all about sex, so this is where it REALLY gets fun! We'll explore pre- and post-zygotic reproductive isolating mechanisms, and explore topics like:
-What are ligers and tigons and geeps?
-What are lock-and-key genitals?
-What happens when organisms release sperm in the water and air?
Get ready to gain a new appreciation for the incredible diversity of life on Earth. Biology is awesome.
