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.

kramer

Answer:

Explanation:

The objective is to conclude if the statements are true or false based on facts.

1) $\text{ Turtles and leopards all have four limbs and an amnion. }$ True

2) $\text{The common ancestor of lamprey and lancelets had a vertebral column. }$ False

This is because their ancestor is a Chordate who doesn't have a vertebral column but a notochord.

3) True

$\text{Frogs are the sister taxa of turtles and leopards because they are more }$

$\text{related to a common ancestor.}$

4) $\text{Leopards and bass are more closely related than turtles and bass}$ False

This is because the bass is a fish that possess some characteristics traits related to an amphibian (turtle) as compared to a mammal(leopard).

5) $\text{The taxon that shares the most recent common ancestor with frogs is the bass.}$ False

The taxa of turtles share a more common ancestor with frogs compared to bass.

6) $\text{Leopards and lancelets have no common ancestor. }$ False

The common distant ancestor for leopards and lancelets is known as Chordates

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.
