The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the term that describes a group of individuals that can interbreed or have the potential to interbreed, while being reproductively isolated from other groups. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Key Terms - **Sexually interbreeding**: This refers to the ability of individuals within a group to mate and produce viable offspring. - **Potentially interbreeding**: This suggests that even if they do not currently interbreed, they have the capability to do so under the right circumstances. - **Reproductively isolated**: This means that this group cannot breed with individuals from other groups or species. ### Step 2: Identify the Concept The question is asking for a specific term that encapsulates all these characteristics. We are looking for a definition that includes both the ability to interbreed and the concept of reproductive isolation from other species. ### Step 3: Recall Relevant Biological Concepts In biology, the term that describes a group of organisms that can interbreed and are reproductively isolated from other groups is known as a "species." More specifically, the definition that fits this description is the "biological species concept." ### Step 4: Conclude the Answer Based on the understanding of the terms and concepts, the answer to the question is: **Biological species.**
