B. Cladistics, because the other two choices don't make any sense.
Korolek [52]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Option B, Cladistics

Explanation:

In a biological classification system, organisms are grouped into different groups based on the similarity of physical (as per traditional classification systems) and genetic characteristics (as per modern classification systems).  

Whittaker has grouped the organisms into five kingdoms - Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia based on their cellular structure, reproduction, feeding pattern and many other physical characteristics.  

However, Linnaeus’s classification group organisms into eight texas which are as follows -domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.

However, Cladistics involves development of cladograms which are more or less similar to phylogenetic trees. Caldograms group organism based on the shared ancestry and descendants at each clade (group of organism also including ancestor species)

Hence, option B is correct

Why can genes be considered derived characters?
aev [14]

A derived character refers to a particular character that is shared by members of a particular population. Genes are considered to be derived characters because THEY ARE TRANSFER FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION FROM PARENTS TO THEIR OFFSPRING. Genes are derived from the DNA molecule of the parents and these are passed to their offspring during the process of cell division in reproduction.

Monomers are the building blocks of which of the following? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY
kirill [66]

Monomers are molecules whose linkage between them form polymers.

<h3>What are monomers?</h3>

Monomers are molecules that have a low molecular mass.

<h3>Characteristics of monomers</h3>

  • When many monomers come together through chemical bonds they form a polymer, which is a macromolecule.

  • Natural monomers allow the formation of biomolecules found in living beings.

  • Carbohydrates, for example, are macromolecules that are created from the bond established by monosaccharides (monomers).

Therefore, we can conclude that polymers, in short, are chains of monomers -generally joined by covalent bonds-.
