How similar do DNA sequences need to be for 2 organisms to be considered the same species? And how is this decided

According to the biological species concept, organisms belong to the same species if they can interbreed to produce viable, fertile offspring. Species are separated from one another by prezygotic and postzygotic barriers, which prevent mating or the production of viable, fertile offspring.

We often hear people talk about family traits and how they seem to skip a generation, according to Mendel what has happened?

Vesnalui [34]

This family trait that skips a generation comes from an autosomal recessive trait or as Mendel called as hidden non-dominant trait. Offsprings have a dominant and recessive trait which comes from both parents. Recessive trait appears only when two offspring with same recessive trait blends. This happens in self-fertilization. In the human population, marriage is prohibited between offsprings, thus having recessive trait is only imminent when cousins are married.
