A mutation can allow a organism to adapt to the environment and example can be the case of the peppered moth which has two variations a white colored one and a black colored one. The white colored ones were able to survive better that the darker ones because of how they were able to camouflage with the lichen located in the trees. However, after a while smoke particles that were released by industries darkened the trunk of the trees making the white moths visible and allowing the darker colored ones to survive. Another example can be on how organism can be resistant to bacteria this allows the animal to survive and reproduce offspring with the same mutation. I hope this helps...

Which choice lists the Linnaean taxons in the correct order from least specific to most specific?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

a) Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Explanation:

Kingdom is the broadest taxonomic category after domain as proposed by Linnaeus. The Linnaean hierarchy of taxon identifies species as the most specific taxon that include only those organisms that can interbreed to produce the fertile progeny.

Several species with some common features are placed in same genus while related genera are placed in same family. Likewise, related families are placed in same order and the related orders are placed in same phylum.

Hence, kingdom is the least specific or broadest taxon that includes all the related phyla while species is the most specific taxon that include only the organisms that can interbreed.
