How do taxonomist distinguish different species?In: Microbiology |

[Edit] 
Taxonomists usually use a set of criteria that have to do with reproduction. So even if two species can reproduce an offspring, taxonomists usually make the distinction that the offspring must be able to reproduce as well. If this is the case, then they are likely to consider the two organisms as one species.
