Some characteristics are very similer, such as the number of legs and such.
Organisms within the same phylum share certain basic characteristics, but they can vary widely in terms of size, shape, behavior, and ecological niche. While there are similarities due to shared ancestry, the diversity within a phylum can be quite large.
Two organisms that are related will share the same genus name in their scientific name.
Animals that are least alike are likely found in different classes or phyla. For example, a bird (class Aves) and a jellyfish (phylum Cnidaria) are very different from each other both in terms of their physical characteristics and evolutionary history.
The Portuguese man-of-war belongs to the phylum Cnidaria.
Arthropods are a diverse group of animals that can have varied diets. They can be herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, or scavengers depending on the species. For example, insects often feed on plant matter, while spiders are primarily carnivorous.
Scientific classification (Linnaeus classification) is used in order to group similar animal together. It is done by finding common ancestors, and moving in order of specifics up the classification. Kingdom, Phylum, (Subphylum,) Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. For example, animals with a very recent common ancestor may be from the same genus, while animals with a more distant common ancestor would be only from the same phylum.
Sponges are normally stationary organisms, they attacj=h themselves to a surface when very small and grow in that same place.
it contains organisms such as bacteria and other diseases. phylum is very dangerous to humans if phylum touches you then you have 1 hour to clean it off or you will die.
What does it mean when two organisms are very similar.
The Phylum Nematodes is home to large number of organisms. The hookworm, whipworm, and pinworms are very familiar to pet owners and can infect humans.
they look similar, they have similar DNA, they are both very ancient organisms, they both perform the same ecological function
Common ancestor, or convergent evolution to the same function
Leeches belong to the phylum Annelida (ringworms), like the common earthworm! They are very similar, they have the same bodyplan, rings and bristles.
Cells do the same, or very similar things, whether they are part of a unicellular organism or a multicellular organism; they have a metabolism, they consume nutrients and oxygen, they have waste products, etc.
Yes. "Family" is a more precise designation than "order." The levels, from most general to most specific, are Kingdom -- Phylum -- Class -- Order -- Family -- Genus -- species.
tell me the answer
Methanogens are micro organisms whose metabolism generates methane. It belongs to the domain Archaea, and the phylum Euryarchaeota. These are very diverse morphologically.
No, not even close! To give you an idea (the most widely used) scientific classification hierarchy is Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, species. Animals in different Kingdoms are the least similar with animals of the same species being the same. Sharks are from the Phylum Chondrichthyes, Reptiles the Phylum Chordata (humans also belong to the Phylum Chordata) and so are very different
