The modern taxonomists classified organisms on the general basis of evolutionary, morphological, and genetic traits

Explanation:

Evolutionary relationships provides the phylogeny of evolutionary ancestors and descendants
Homologous structures are structures which look the same but perform different functions , like bones of a human leg compared to bones on a bird's wing
Analogous structures have different structure but same function like an insect’s and a bird’s wing
Embryo developmental pattern and similar relationships
Similarities in DNA and protein sequencing in related organisms

The above basis provided modern taxonomists to classify organisms according to the various disciplines like Genetics, Cytology, Embryology, Physiology, Anatomy and many more.

Flura [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

A single letter is used to represent both the alleles of a particular character.

A capital letter represents a dominant allele, while a small letter represents a recessive one.

The letters do not just have one standard representation. same letter can be used to represent different characters. However, the letters may relate to the allele. For example: the letter 'B' can be used to represent Brown eyes.

Question : The humpback whale can be seen off the coast of Alaska during the summer months, but is found as far south as California and Hawaii during the winter. Why would the humpback whale most likely spend the summer months off the coast of Alaska?

Answer : The humpback whale likes being in the cold like all other fishes.
The humpback whale is usually found around the coast of Alaska because it is a little colder over there. Then in winter it is found around Hawaii and California because the pacific ocean cools down and is not so hot anymore!
