according to the biological species concept, what is the definition of a species?
○ organisms that can interbreed in nature to produce healthy offspring
○ members from populations that share a similar appearance

Explanation:

The biological species concept defines a species as groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations that produce viable, fertile offspring, which matches the first option. The other options relate to morphological, phylogenetic, and ecological species concepts respectively, not the biological one.
