What was not considered in early taxonomic classifications

kozerog [31]

<span>The internal structue and phylogenetic relationships were not considered in early taxonomic classifications. Early classifications were mostly based on morphological characters like height, shape, color etc. The organisms have evolutionary relationships which were also not considered in earlier classifications.</span>

What is it about the life-cycle that makes cane toad populations successful?

Svetllana [295]

Cane Toads are very strong and adaptable, they are also poisonous throughout its life cycle, which is why they only have a few predators and have a life span of 10-15 years. Cane toads have poison glands, and the tadpoles are extremely toxic to most animals if consumed. They are productive breeders, they only need a small pool of water of almost any nature. The female cane toads can lay 8,000 to 35,000 eggs at a time and may produce two clutches in one year. The eggs will hatch within 24-72 hours and the tadpole stage may last from three to twenty weeks. Cane toads in the tropics grow really quick and may be sexually mature only within one year. Cane toads have been introduced to many regions of the Pacific and the Caribbean islands as a method of agricultural pest control because of their ravenous appetite, however, they are now considered pests and are dangerous to humans and animals, both wild and domesticated especially to dogs.

olasank [31]

Answer:

Proteins (polymers of amino acids)

Carbohydrates (polymers of sugars)

Lipids (polymers of lipid monomers)

Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA; polymers of nucleotides)

Explanation:

Proteins:

Chemical formula is CHON

What components of the eukaryotic cell were visible in the onion root tip? Which components were not? Why do you think some comp

ruslelena [56]

Looking at the onion root tip under the microscope you can see large, rectangular cells with visible distinct cell walls surrounding it (cells have a more regular shape because of the wall). Inside the cells, you can notice darkly stained nucleus, large vacuoles at the center and sometimes small granules within the cytoplasm. Looking the onion root tip under the microscope is often the way to observe mitosis. Usually, you cannot see organelles such as mitochondria, ribosomes, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, centrioles and Golgi body as they appear translucent and because are too small to be seen under the light microscope (electron microscope required). Also, chloroplasts are not present in an onion cell because it is not a photosynthetic cell.
