If one defines life as the simplest form capable of displaying the most essential attributes of a living thing, one very quickly

realizes that the only real criterion for life is the ability to replicate. Only systems that contain nucleic acids are capable of this phenomenon. This sort of reasoning has led to a new definition of organism:
An organism is the unit element of a continuous lineage with an individual evolutionary history.

Consider the new definition of life. If you were to argue that a virus or a single mitochondria were, in fact, alive based on this definition, you would be ignoring the main tenet of
A) cell theory.
B) endosymbiosis.
C) nucleosynthesis.
D) natural selection.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option A.

Explanation:

The viruses which are considered the non-living organisms as they are not composed of cells and mitochondria which are evolved from the endo-symbiotic relationship with cells are also considered not considered a cell.

According to the question, these cells will have life and will be living which completely ignores the most important theory of biology called cell theory given by Schwann and Schleiden. This theory states that cell is the structural and functional unit of life and all living organisms whether unicellular or multi-cellular are made up of cell.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.

What information would you need to know in order to make an accurate classification of these organisms?
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Following information are needed to classify an organism.

1. Unicellular or multicellular : First we have to see that from how many cells the body of organisms formed.

2. Composition of cell wall: Secondly we have to see the cell wall composition.

3. Prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell: We have to see the nucleus of organisms, if it has nucleus we can say that it is a eukaryotic cell.

4. Mode of nutrition: Mode of nutrition means is the organisms is autotroph or heterotroph.

If they have similarities, so it is placed in one group. If not so it is placed in different group or kingdom.

Most animals with backbones, vertebrates, have a similar body plan: skull, ribs, two pairs of limbs, tail. What does this sugges
daser333 [38]

The correct answer is E. Vertebrates are all related to a common ancestor

Explanation:

According to biology and evolution, organisms from different species but that share similarities in morphology (body structures) as well as in genetics often have a phylogenetic relationship which means they descend from the same organism or share a common ancestor. This applies to multiple taxonomical levels including classes such as mammals or birds as it has been proved each of this derived from a common ancestor. Therefore, the similarity in the body structure (morphology) in all mammals suggest vertebrates are related to a common ancestor and as they evolved from this, they share similarities not only in terms of morphology but also in genetics.
