Question

Organisms belonging to the same species form a

Answer 1

In biology and population genetics, a population is usually a set of organisms whose members can sexually or asexually breed among themselves. This statement implies that the members of a population can regularly exchange gametes sexually or asexually and can produce fertile offspring much like themselves.

Complete answer: Species is an elementary unit in biological classification and the hierarchy of the taxonomic classification and ranking system. Normally, species are defined as a group of organisms that are capable of reproduction sexually or asexually and hence producing their offspring. The organisms which belong to the same species in any specific locality are named as a population. A population is a number or a group of all the organisms belonging to the same group or species living in a specific geographical area and are capable of interbreeding and reproducing to produce similar offspring. The area of any sexual population is where the inter-breeding takes place between any pair of individuals within that area and is more feasible than the cross-breeding taking place with individuals belonging to the other areas. A breeding group in a population which exchanges gametes sexually or asexually is also called a gamodeme.
So, the correct answer is option A.
Additional Information:
All species with the exception of viruses, are assigned a bipartite name known as a "binomial". The first part of a binomial name of the species is the genus to which that particular species belongs. The second part of a binomial name of the species is known as the specific name or the specific epithet.

Note: The word ‘population’ is used to denote several meanings in the field of biology. In 1971, Edward O. Wilson et al. first used the term population to apply the mathematical models to the field of population genetics, community ecology, and population dynamics among other emerging fields.
