In ecology, one of the means of measuring diversity is Simpson's Diversity Index. This index is generally used to count the biodiversity of a habitat. The index considers the number of the present species, and at the same time each species' abundance.
Simpson's index denoted by D determines the possibility that two characters selected abruptly from a sample will fit to a similar species or some classification other than species. When the value of D is 0, it signifies infinite diversity, while when the value is 1 it denotes no diversity. Thus, the bigger the value the lower will be the diversity.
B. The levels of classification increased. Previously there were only 2 domains of life, Bacteria and Eukarya, but an additional domain and Kingdom were added when the distinction of Archaea was observed.
<span>Messenger RNA (mRNA) is known
to be molecules that carries codes (DNA) in the nucleus to the cytoplasm the
sites of protein synthesis. Thus, it is the RNA copy from one section of the
DNA that usually correspond to a single
gene. </span>
