3 0

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.

Which of the following are characteristics of archaeal cell membranes that probably help them survive at very high temperatures?
torisob [31]

Answer:

Option-B, C and E

Explanation:

Archaebacteria are a group of prokaryotes which can survive the extreme conditions. The archaebacteria which can survive very high temperature are called hyperthermophiles. The hyperthermophilic bacteria can survive temperature range between 70 t 125 °C observed in hydrothermal vents.

The archaea bacteria can withstand the high temperature as their membrane is adaptive. The membrane of the archaea is more stable due to the ether linkage which makes carbon less chemically reactive. The phospholipids possess a monolayer which decreases the layer fluidity and thus the unwanted movement of molecules.

The archaea also contain cyclopentane rings in the ester-linked phospholipids which allows tight pacing of the molecules which decrease the movement of solute into and out of the cell.

Thus, the selected options are correct.

Mendel's law of______ governs which allele is expressed in an individual.​
allsm [11]

Answer:

Mendel stated that each individual has two alleles for each trait, one from each parent. Thus, he formed the “first rule”, the Law of Segregation, which states individuals possess two alleles and a parent passes only one allele to his/her offspring. One allele is given by the female parent and the other is given by the male parent.
