Which of the following best describes a species?

a group of closely related organisms that can produce viable or fertile offspring

a group of closely related organisms that can not produce viable/fertile offspring

a group of closely related organisms that cannot produce any offspring

a group of distantly related organisms that can produce infertile offspring

The first answer is correct.
A group of closely related organisms that can produce viable or fertile offspring.

The answer would be c, white eyes are homozygous recessive. in the early 1900s, morgan conducted several experiments with vinegar  flies (drosophila). one  sample revealed an anomaly: a  white-eyed, single male fly. he attempted to breed this fly with the typical red-eyed females. the offspring were all red-eyed. using flies from this new generation (brother-sister pairs)  produced some red-eyed and a few white-eyed flies. the white-eyed were all male. in later experiments, he was able to produce white-eyed females. this proved that white eyes are not lethal to either sex (ruling out a and b). since the percentage of white eyes to red eyes is so low, white eyes are not a dominant trait. it would be a recessive trait.
