The correct option is B.
The Linnaeus' taxonomic classification of organisms categories all living organisms into seven different groups, which are: species, genus, family, order, class, phylum and kingdom. The smallest group is the specie while the largest group is the kingdom. The kingdom is divided into two, the animal kingdom and the plant kingdom. The kingdom is the larges and most inclusive of Linnaeus taxonomy; the animal kingdom is made up of all animals while the plant kingdom is made up of all plants.

B - Kingdoms are the highest level. These kingdoms are then divided into phylums, then classes, orders, families, and genus. They are all used to define animals and plants, every one belongs to certain groups of these.

Briefly describe how amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling are used in genetic screening.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Amniocentesis is an invasive method that involves the aspiration of 10-20 ml of fetal water through the abdominal wall under ultrasound-guided control. In most cases, the procedure is performed around the 16th week of gestation. The fetal water sample contains fetal cells, mostly cells of fetal skin and the epithelium of the urinary tract.

Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) biopsy is performed between weeks 11 and 12 of gestation. During biopsy, with ultrasound guidance, the tissue of the chorionic fossa is aspirated mainly across the abdomen (transabdominal pathway). The biopsy specimen is of fetal origin and belongs to the outer layer of blastocyst cells or the trophoblast (outer layer of the placenta). Very often, the biopsy specimen contains tissue of the decidua (mucous membrane of the uterus) that is of maternal origin, and it is necessary to remove the maternal tissue before any treatment of the sample.

Explanation:

The amniocentesis procedure carries a risk of miscarriage of 0.5-1%.  After aspiration of the fruit of the water, the sample is centrifuged to separate the cells from the amniotic fluid. Separate cells are seeded on a nutrient medium (cell culture) that stimulates cell growth. After about 14 days, the cell culture is further used for various genetic or biochemical analyzes such as karyotyping.

The advantage of chorionic biopsy is the amount of biological material, which is sufficient for the whole a number of different laboratory procedures. Also, a great advantage is the timing of the procedure as it allows diagnosis in the first trimester of pregnancy, but the chorionic biopsy procedure itself carries a risk of miscarriage of 1-2%.

What are three types of homologies that can be seen in organisms? Give example of each homologous?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

1. Iterative homology: e.g. antenna and leg of fiddler crab

2. Ontogenetic homology: e.g. radular teeth of veliger, feathers of chicken and hen

3. Di-polymorphic homology: e.g. white and brown feathers of hen races, chelae of male and female of fiddler crabs

4. Supraspecific: e.g. chelae of fiddler crab, chelae of lobster, feathers of hen and pheasant
