Why do we classify organisms??​

Biology

OLEGan [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: we classify organisms to group living beings who share  the same characteristics or who have common attributes

Explanation: So, since the late '60s and based on the proposal of the researcher Robert Whittaker, most biologists group living beings into 5 large groups called Kingdoms, based mainly on three characteristics:

* type of cell,

* number of cells in each organism and

* the way of obtaining energy.

As a result, we could have 5 kingdoms; and these kingdoms are:

Monera, represented by the microorganisms of prokaryotic type known colloquially as "bacteria"  

-Fungi, represented by mushrooms

-Plantae, the kingdom of the plants

-Animalia, the kingdom of the animals, and

-Protist, a very diverse group of organisms of eukaryotic type.

Question 4 of 10
kupik [55]

Answer:

The lytic cycle results in Immediate death of host cell.

Explanation:

  • Lytic cycle is followed by virulent phages.
  • Lysogenic cycle as well as lytic cycle are followed by temperate phages.
  • During lytic cycle the host cell is lysed and new viruses are released very quickly .
  • During lysogenig cycle, the viral genome integrates into the host genome and creates a prophage. When the infected cell replicates the prophage also replicates. Later at some time the prophage enter the lytic cycle.
  • The main difference between the lytic and lysogenic cycle is, lytic cycle involves the lysis of the host cell while lysogenic cycle does not involve lysis of host cell.
