Taxonomy is the branch of Science, in which
we study the Classification of Organisms. On discovering an unknown organism,
begin classification by looking for anatomical features that appear to have the
same function as those found on other species.
In order to correctly classify an organism,
scientists use many modern tools.
1.Morphology describes the physical
characteristics of an organism. Typically, this is enough information to place
the organism within a domain and kingdom.
2.DNA and biochemical analysis allow
scientists to test less visible, but distinguishing, characteristics.
3.Comparing embryology allows scientists to
group organisms that share common fetal development.
<span>4.Evolutionary
phylogeny describes the evolutionary relationships between organisms.</span>These
relationships are deduced based on shared traits that may have been passed from
ancestor to new species. Traits
may include physical traits (ex. presence of jaws), or may be genetic traits
(shared genes).
Answer:
A circle is a closed curved shape that is flat. ... Instead of having all points the same distance from the center point, though, an ellipse is shaped so that when you add together the distances from two points inside the ellipse (called the foci) they always add up to the same number.
Explanation:
Extreme disturbances are complex events. The terminology used to identify them, such as 'hurricanes,' 'fires,' 'economic collapse,' 'war,' or 'drought,' is insufficient for advancing understanding about how they interact with, and affect, ecosystems, including SETS.
Loss of biodiversity matters because it affects the overall sustainability of organisms in an ecosystem. It also affects how badly an ecosystem will be affected after something, maybe a natural disaster, or maybe a disease, strikes the region. (For example, if a disease affects a certain species of organism, if there was a lot of biodiversity among individuals, some will have some kind of natural immunity to that disease and survive, passing on their favorable traits to the next generation. However, if everybody was the same and did not have the immunity to that disease, that entire population would eventually die out.) <- This is also the reason that lack of biodiversity will inhibit natural selection.
Hope that helped you.
Galaxy is a collection of stars, gas, and dust bound together by gravity. The smallest galaxies may contain only a few hundred thousand stars, while the largest galaxies have thousands of billions of stars.
