Linnaeus gave us a two-name system for identifying organisms. It is called binomial nomenclature.

Answer:

Carolus Linnaeus is known as "Father of taxonomy" as he made two most important contributions to taxonomy:

1. The system of binomial nomenclature (a 2-part naming method)

2. A hierarchical classification system.

His system of classification consists of a hierarchy of groupings in phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species with the kingdom as the largest and most inclusive group while species as the smallest group.

We still use this system today but we have made some changes like we have added a level in the hierarchy which is domain the broadest level of life and all living things now fit into three domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Within each domain there are kingdoms.

Thus, his contributions led to the development of modern taxonomy.

Answer:

has muscles and nerve cells

Explanation:

We all have a vague idea of what an animal is. However, when we ask for defining characteristics, there may be confusion. Saying that an animal is moving, for example, may be true for some groups, but not for others.

For an organism to be considered an animal, it must have characteristics in common with all animals, that is, that organism must be eukaryotic, multicellular, heterotrophic and have no cell wall, muscle and nerve cells.

Two alleles of a given gene exist in a population: CTGT and TGTC. (Note: The codes given are only for the transcribed strand of

Vlad [161]

Explanation:

D. 6

There are two forms of the gene, CTGT and TGTC, called alleles. These have undergone 3 crossover events, which may create two separate copies.

Thus 2 × 3 (# of events)= 6 new alleles

The interchange of chromosome segments, including homologous non-sister or identical chromatids. Crossing over happens at chiasmata, where non-sister chromosomes are fused together.

Further Explanation:

DNA variants on chromosomes,may have different forms called alleles. DNA, which is a genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and then converted into amino acids that are linked together by rRNA to form proteins that make up the morphology of the individual.
