A potential problem with the phylogenetic species concept is that Blank______.Multiple choice question.it is difficult to determine if fossil populations are monophyletic with extant populationsit will result in very large species, comprising hundreds of populations, as long as they are monophyleticit may recognize even slightly differentiated populations as separate species
