👉 Genospecies, in biology, are separate species that share a common ancestor. They can be classified into two main categories: monotypic and polytypic. Monotypic groups consist of one species with a single type of characteristic, such as color, shape, or size. Polytypic groups have multiple types of individuals sharing the same characteristics. In terms of biological diversity, genospecies are important because they can represent different ecological niches, allowing for better understanding and conservation efforts at
