Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Paleospecies are groups of extinct organisms that are defined based on morphological variation observed in the fossil record. This means that paleospecies are defined based on physical characteristics such as the shape and size of bones or other hard parts, rather than on any genetic or reproductive relationships. Therefore, choice C - a group of organisms defined in terms of morphological variation - is the best choice.
