What additional information would assist you in determining whether polar bears and grizzlies are different species, based on th
e biological species concept? I. whether the F1 is fertile
II. whether F1 offspring are viable
III. the amount of DNA sequence divergence between polar and grizzly bears
IV. the geographic distribution of polar and grizzly bears
a. II only
b. I only
c. III and IV only
d. I and III only
e. I and II only
According to the biological species concept, a species is the population of organism in which the individual are able to interbreed with each other and also able to produce viable and fertile offspring.
Therefore here to determine whether polar bears and grizzlies are different species we have to get information that whether the F1 generation of grizzlies and polar bears is viable and able to produce their own offspring that means are F1 generation fertile. So the correct answer is e. I and II only.
A
person does have basic human rights and one is the freedom of expression. Though
this is the case, we should understand that our right to freely express
ourselves (from political to religious views), it does not necessarily give us
the right to impede another person’s. A play with words can easily hurt or even
harass other people, and in return may be a form of human right violation.
