Re: Starting from the Root
eg, various breeds of chickens can reproduce together, but a chicken and a duck cannot, therefore they are different 'kinds' or 'species'
Duck is not a species. It is a group of genera. ie: Dendrocygna , Aix, Anas, Aythya,Somateria, Melanitta, Clangula, Bucephala, Mergus,Lophodytes, Mergellus, Oxyura & Nomonyx. Some of these genera have several species which cannot interbreed, and those of the different genera cannot. So explain the "Duck Kind."
