The pop-up question at the end of this level asks whether an animal or a plant is more closely related to a fungus.
1 answer:
Answer:
Although apparently it may look that fungi are more related to plants than the animals but the fact is quite opposite.
Explanation:
The molecular phylogenetic analysis is an excellent tool to find out the correct ancestor and evolutionary history of organisms. The molecular phylogenetic studies have depicted that fungi are more related to animals than to the plants. Please see attached figure.
Here are some of the many similarities between animals and fungi:
- Both are eukaryotes that means they have proper organelles bonded by proper membranes.
- Both need energy from the sun for their survival but are unable to use that sunlight for the production of food (heterotrophs).
- Both do not contain photosynthetic pigments called chlorophylls in their cells.

The interaction between genetics and environment and how this affects behavior, resulting in individual variances, is of particular interest to behavior geneticists.
The environment in this context refers to every external, nongenetic component of our life, including prenatal nutrition and the people and objects in our immediate surroundings.
Chromosomes:
Each of our cells contains 46 chromosomes, 23 from our mother and 23 from our father. Chromosomes are complicated, spiraling molecules formed of DNA that resemble threads and contain genes.
DNA:
We have over 30,000 genes, which are DNA segments that, when activated (expressed), serve as templates for the synthesis of different protein molecules, which serve as the foundation for our physical and behavioral growth.
Genome:
The entire collection of instructions for creating an organism, included in all of its chromosomal genetic material, is called an organism's genome.
Gene:
Combinations of mutations at certain gene locations serve to distinguish us from one another. The majority of human features are not controlled by a single gene acting alone, but rather by a number of genes working together.
