Answer:

The classification of the organisms are done on the basis of their characteristics and differences among them. DNA sequencing is the most appropriate methods of the organisms classification.

The DNA analysis can be misleading as well. This mainly occurs in the case of analogous traits as these traits are similar to some homologous traits. The similar environmental conditions can also leads to the misleading of the organisms.

During which stage of the cell cycle does the cell rest, grow, and copy DNA and organelles?
atroni [7]

The cell cycle or cell-division cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA (DNA replication) to produce two daughter cells. In bacteria, which lack a cell nucleus, the cell cycle is divided into the B, C, and D periods. The B period extends from the end of cell division to the beginning of DNA replication.

What is digestion and how does it work
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma. In certain organisms, these smaller substances are absorbed through the small intestine into the blood stream.

Explanation:

Digestion works by moving food through the GI tract. Digestion begins in the mouth with chewing and ends in the small intestine. As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body. Waste products of digestion pass through the large intestine and out of the body as a solid matter called stool.
