While members of the Fungi kingdom use absorption to get food, organisms from the kingdom Plantae use this.
The largest level of classification is called this, the same as the 'D' in DNS in internet lingo.
This type of key uses a sequence of paired questions where each choice brings one closer to identifying the organism in question.
This domain is made up of unicellular prokaryotes with 3 RNA polymerases. Their genes and enzymes behave much more like eukaryotes.
The two-part naming system of a genus and species, such as Homo sapiens, is called this.
When variations of a species live in different areas, they are called these.
Meaning 'true bacteria,' this kingdom consists of prokaryotic organisms that reproduce asexually.
Genus and species are always written in this font style. Hint: it's not bold or underlined...
'Domain' means 'right of ownership' and comes from this parent of the romance languages.
This is the only kindgom that relies solely on sexual reproduction.
Eukaryotes make up this kingdom, which includes organisms such as the tiny amoeba.
The Linnaean classification system reads: Kingdom, Phylum, *This*, Order, Family, Genus, Species. You're in one right now!
The science of describing, naming, and classifying organisms is called this.
Thie first classification system was flawed because it used these, like 'jellyfish' and 'seahorse'.
Not to give it away, but eukaryotes make up this third domain.
Modern taxonomists study these types of trees, involved with analyzing evolutionary relationships among taxa.
This domain is characterized by small, single-celled prokaryotes that usually have 1 RNA polymerase and 1 circular chromosome.
Taxonomy literally means 'The law [to] put in order' and is derived from this language.
These were the only 2 taxa that made up the first classification system. (Hint - They'd later become kingdoms.)
Any particular group within a taxonomic system is referred to as this (The plural is taxa).
Meaning 'ancient bacteria,' these unicelluar extremophiles may use budding to reproduce.
