Answer:

1. Biological Species Concept

2. Phylogenetic Species Concept

Explanation:

Ernst Mayr defined the species on the basis of the biological species concept. Accordingly, the organisms that are capable of interbreeding to produce fertile progeny belong to the same species.  

Since dogs and gray wolves are able to produce fertile progeny, they belong to the same species as per the biological species concept.  

According to the phylogenetic species concept, two organisms that share a recent common ancestor and exhibit certain derived traits, belong to the same species.

According to the given information, dogs and gray wolves are descended from a common ancestor and hence, belong to the same species according to the phylogenetic species concept.
