Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Geographically restricted groups of the same species with differing traits are often recognized as subspecies. Subspecies are groups within a species that are geographically separated but display morphological or genetic differences that are not large enough to warrant recognition as a distinct species. Phenotypes and genetic clones do not account for the geographic restrictions or the continuous variation found within the population. Macrospecies and hybrid species are not recognized biological classification categories.
