Practice question
Question
Potato, tomato, and brinjal are three different species. To which single genus do they all belong?
Explanation
Potato (Solanum tuberosum), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), and brinjal (Solanum melongena) are distinct biological species due to their reproductive isolation and specific traits. However, they share enough significant morphological and structural similarities to be grouped together under the single genus Solanum, demonstrating how genera act as aggregates of closely related species.
