<u>Answer</u>:

1.a) Species. It is the lowest taxon and represents the scientific name of the organism.

b) The species name is part of the binomial system of nomenclature developed by Linnaeus.

Thus it is composed of two parts each with its own writing rules (ex. gray wolf - <em>Canis lupus</em>):

A. the genus or generic name

- written first

- always underlined or italicized

- the first letter is always capitalized

ex. <em>Canis</em>

B. the specific epithet or species name

- is written second

- always underlined or italicized

- never capitalized

ex. <em>lupus</em>

<em />

2. The results should always be the same. A dichotomous key is an identification tool based on a series of choices between alternative characters (dichotomous = divided into two parts). Thus, there is no room for subjective observation that may lead to another result. If the morphological traits of the organism are correctly identified, the the result should always be the same. Any differences occur due to errors on the scientist's part.

A DNA mutation changes the shape of the extracellular domain of transmembrane receptor protein A produced by the cell. Which of
Tatiana [17]
<h2>a) is the correct option </h2>

Explanation:

The extracellular domain of the transmembrane receptor protein acts as binding site for primary messenger molecule whereas the transmembrane domain holds the receptor within membrane and the cytosolic domain has intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity, all these helps in proper cell signaling

If because of any mutation there is change in shape of the extracellular domain then that molecule that normally binds to the receptor protein will no longer attach hence cellular response will be deactivated
