    Answer: Cryptic species (species that are very similar in appearance).

    Explanation:

    The concept of morphological species characterizes a species on the basis of structural features and body shape. It is applied to sexual as well as asexual organisms. It is an useful approach when the information about the gene flow is unknown. It is subjective approach.

    The disadvantage associated with the morphological species concept is that the concept cannot distinguish between the Cryptic Species, those that have species actually have differences other than the morphological ones.
