Question
**Question:**

Think about the ways we define/identify a species. What would be the least precise way to determine a living species (so not extinct)?

**Options:**

- ○ groups of organisms that look alike
- ○ groups of organisms that are geographically separated for a significant period of time such that they become distinct genetically
- ○ separate populations with different genetic markers
- ● groups of potentially interbreeding populations which are reproductively isolated from others

**Explanation:**

The image presents a multiple-choice question aimed at understanding different methods for defining or identifying species. The focus is on finding the least precise method from the given options. The options suggest different criteria, such as physical similarity, geographical separation leading to genetic distinction, genetic markers, and reproductive isolation in populations.
