Activity 1
What is Specie?
SPECIES
Description: A species is a group of
organisms that share a
genetic heritage, are able to
interbreed, and to create
offspring that are also fertile.
Characteristics:  Members of species
resemble one another
more than with individuals
of any other species.
 Capable of reproduction.
Examples: People, animals (living
things).
Non – examples: Book, table (non – living
things).

Activity 2
Identify the Differences
Morphological
Species: Morphological species is a community, or
a number of related communities, whose
distinctive morphological characters are
sufficiently definite to entitle it, or them, to
a specific name.
Evolutionary An evolutionary species is understood to
Species: be a single lineage of ancestor-
descendant populations of organisms
which maintains its identity from other
such lineages [in space and time] and
which has its own evolutionary
tendencies and historical fate.
Biological
Species: Biological species refers to a group of
reproducing natural populations
incapable to effectively mate or breed
with other groups, and which inhabits a
particular niche in nature.
SIMILARITIES OF:
Morphological
and They things in common such as being
Evolutionary able to crossbreed
Species:
Morphological
and Biological Living things.

Activity 3
Character Similarities and Differences of a Specie
Why do Species Exhibit Similarities and Differences in
Characters?
1. Similar organisms have differences that help them
adapt to their environments.
2. It makes one organism different from the other
organism.
3. Prevents the extinction of a species.
4. Variations are essential for natural selection.
5. Variations can be defined as the variations in DNA
sequences.

Activity 4
Species Classification
1. Dog and wolf have the same classification from kingdom
to genus. Dog and wolf are of different species.
2. No. Because they are of different species.

REFLECTION:
1. I learned that species are the smallest natural
populations permanently separated from each other by a
distinct discontinuity in the series of biotype.
2. I enjoyed most on identifying the species of the given
organisms.
3. I want to learn more about why do similar organism
have differences and similarities
