Question
Chapter 18.4, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The two reasons the groups of species shown in part (a) of Figure 18.11 vary in their total amount of DNA.
Introduction:
Eukaryotes have very large genomes. Genome is the total amount of DNA present in a cell or organism. The size of the genome significantly varies among different species even who are similar in form and function.

What problems have been identified with the biological species concept? How do other species concepts attempt to overcome these problems?
Closely related species are grouped together into (singular, ). By the way, what is the singular of “species”?
Why haven’t we been able to come up with a single, comprehensive, and agreed-upon species concept?
