Answers & Comments
Answer:
A. Organisms that appear very different do not belong to the same species.
This statement is not true. Organisms that belong to the same species can have a wide range of physical characteristics and can appear very different. The ability to interbreed and produce viable offspring is the primary criteria used to determine if organisms belong to the same species.
