Answer:

mark brainliest

Explanation:

The ongoing extinction of individual species due to environmental or ecological factors such as climate change, disease, loss of habitat, or competitive disadvantage in relation to other species. Background extinction occurs at a fairly steady rate over geological time and is the result of normal evolutionary processes, with only a limited number of species in an ecosystem being affected at any one time. Compare mass extinction.

Why is the body so carefully organized, from small levels up to large
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: In multicellular organisms, including humans, all cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems of the body work together to maintain the life and health of the organism. To make sure your body can work correctly, even when it does many things at once, your body must be carefully organized. The smallest unit of our organization, our smallest part, is the cell. (which makes up muscles) can shorten to make your body move.

Devise a method for determining the molecular weight of the fragment you amplified and describe that method below. make sure to
11111nata11111 [884]

The method used here is agarose gel elecrtrophoresis  in which DNA ladder is used  which  is a set of standard used to determine the size of DNA used .The DNA ladder is put adjacent to the DNA fragments to be visualized Suppose if the ladder shows 300 basepair so the DNA adjacent to this number will be of this size.These are the set standards used to determine the size of DNA or RNA. For a range we can take 2% of agrarose to run DNA fragments upto 500 Basepair. Most of the amplified DNA falls into this category size.

Which kingdom is completely composed of unicellular organisms that are prokaryotic
larisa [96]
Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms with no nucleus, and so this would make bacteria a prime example. Therefore, depending upon the system being used, the kingdom that contains single-celled prokaryotes could be Monera, or the combination of Archaeobacteria and Eubacteria.

The kingdom systems, which were previously taught in high school, consisted of a 5-kingdom system which was later expanded to 6. The 5- kingdom  included Animals, Plants, Fungi, Monera and Protists. The 6- kindgom system expanded Monera into Archaeobacteria and Eubacteria.

The "kingdom" system of classification is now generally not recognized as a valid or helpful way of classification, at least not according to modern evidence. It tends to be "paraphyletic", meaning that it describes relationships which do not match the evolutionary relationships of the organisms being described, and tends to favor human conventions rather than biological evidence. Kingdoms have generally been replaced by "domains" in terms of organizing relationships between organisms, referring to the prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and archaea, based on genetic and protein data.
