Obviously it's not so cut and dried. Some species can interbreed, with limited success (e.g. hrose+donkey = mule). Happens with birds too. That's why it's difficult to come up with a concrete definition of species.

No. thats why they are called different species. Two species diverge when they are no longer capable of reproduing together. Thats what darwin identified with his finches. They were all based on the same bird..but they were significantly differnt that they could not breed together.

things must be of the same species in order to produce offspring, so no to both questions
