Tigers and lions inhabit different areas and different habitats. tigers live in forested areas in south east asia while lions inhabit open savannas in africa and south west asia. lions and tigers never mate in the wild because they are geographically and ecologically isolated. however, in the zoo, they can mate and produce viable offspring. a. would you classify tigers and lions as the same species using the biological species concept, yes/no and explain what was the main factor in your decision. b. would you classify tigers and lions as the same species using the ecological species concept, yes/no and explain what was the main factor in your decision.

a) The tigers and lions are of the same species using the biological species

concept because they can interbreed.

Tigers and lions are known to be of the same species using the biological

concept. This is because when they are in contact with each other, they are

capable of mating and producing viable offspring which is a major condition

to determine biological species.

b) Tigers and lions aren't of  the same species using the ecological species

concept as a result of them being exposed to different environmental

conditions and resources called a niche. A tiger is said to live in forested

areas while lions live in open savanna which have different set of resources.

a. I wouldn't classify them as the same species according to the biological species concept since this concept says that it requires animals to be able to breed in nature (lions and tigers occupy different regions).

b. Using the ecological speceis concept I would clasify lions and tigers as a same species since this concept requires animals to ocupy the same niche in their environmet (both are the top consumers in their respective environments).

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

i believe it would be the lungs.

evidence and logical support is essential for a scientist to do in order to maintain credibility. this is because no one can believe without any logic and without any evidence.hence a scientist can maintain credibility by proving himself and by answering logically so experiments prove very beneficial. logical hypothesis give conclusion which is acceptable. therefore, there are two main factors to maintain credibility by a scientist is evidence and logical support.
