Answer:

a) Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Explanation:

Kingdom is the broadest taxonomic category after domain as proposed by Linnaeus. The Linnaean hierarchy of taxon identifies species as the most specific taxon that include only those organisms that can interbreed to produce the fertile progeny.

Several species with some common features are placed in same genus while related genera are placed in same family. Likewise, related families are placed in same order and the related orders are placed in same phylum.

Hence, kingdom is the least specific or broadest taxon that includes all the related phyla while species is the most specific taxon that include only the organisms that can interbreed.

Answer:

a) Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Explanation:

Carolus Linnaeus was a Swedish Botanist, who was regarded as the FATHER OF TAXONOMY because of his contribution to developing a system of naming and classifying species that is still widely used today. He was the first to create a system for naming organisms.

Linnaeus classified organisms using an hierarchical grouping system called TAXA. He classified organisms into a large group called KINGDOM, which was the least specific. Kingdom was further divided into PHYLUM, phylum into CLASS, class into ORDER, order into FAMILY, family into GENUS, genus into SPECIES, which were the smallest and most specific taxon. Although these hierarchical system of classification was later modified by the addition and removal of grouped organisms, Linnaeus classification still remains the basis/foundation for classifying organisms.

Suppose a gene has two alleles, one of which is dominant over the other. An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allel
Trava [24]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the options are:

A. Two copies of the allele that determines phenotype whenever the allele is present

B. Two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent

C. One copy of the allele that determines phenotype when present and one copy of the other allele

D. One copy of each of two alleles that both contribute equally to determining phenotype

The answer is B.

Explanation:

According to Gregor Mendel, a Gene comes in two alternative forms called ALLELES. One allele called the DOMINANT ALLELE is capable of masking the phenotypic expression of the other called the RECESSIVE ALLELE. The dominant allele will always express itself whenever it is present. However, a recessive trait will only be expressed when two alleles for recessiveness occur in the gene.

An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allele will have two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent. This means that in that particular gene, the two present alleles will be recessive alleles.
