i'm questioning the same question too.but as far as i know there isn't yet a full cladogram of plant kingdom.the mechanism of cladogram is comparing the DNA or amino acid sequences in each species.there are almost a million species of plant in this world.i think it's a lot work to do for the scientists to compare such many plant species.it has become a new project now.

Why doesn't a mushroom fit into Linnaeus 2 kingdom system?

His system basically was, if it's green and has leaves: it's a plant. If it doesn't and it eats things: it's an animal. fungi don't look like plants and they lack all of the physical characteristics associated with animals.


What kingdom are the sponges in?

They are animals, and so they are in Animalia. Although they look lifeless, they are not.


What is meant by cladogram in information visualization?

A cladogram is a diagram used in cladistics which shows relations among organisms. A cladogram is not however an evolutionary tree because it does not show how ancestors are related to descendants or how much they have changed; many evolutionary trees can be inferred from a single cladogram. A cladogram uses lines that branch off in different directions ending at groups of organisms. There are many shapes of cladograms but they all have lines that branch off from other lines. The lines can be traced back to where they branch off. These branching off points represent a hypothetical ancestor (not an actual entity) which would have the combined traits of the lines above it. This hypothetical ancestor might then provide clues about what to look for in an actual evolutionary ancestor. Although traditionally such cladograms were generated largely on the basis of morphological characters, DNA and RNA sequencing data and computational phylogenetics are now very commonly used in the generation of cladograms.


Do the coral and sponges belong to the animal kingdom?

They are living life forms, but they are not animals, so they are possibly a sea reef, but not an animal, I know, it gets confusing...


What is a kingdom in science terms?

A Kingdom is a level of classification of living organisms which used to be the highest level of distinguishing one major group from another. When I was going to school, there were only two Kingdoms being taught in my biology text book's classification system: Plant Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. All living things were lumped in one or the other, and so some single celled organisms were considered to be in Animal Kingdom (such as amoebas and paramecium) and others were considered to be in the Plant Kingdom (such as yeast and algae). Mushrooms and other fungi were placed in the Plant Kingdom. Most scientists of the day were way ahead of this system, but it sometimes takes a long time (in this case several centuries) for textbooks to catch up to current understanding (and let that be a caveat to you). By the time I started teaching High School in the 1980's, there had been a shift in the textbooks to a 5 Kingdom system (proposed in 1969 by Robert Whittaker), Monera (bacteria), Protista (single celled organisms like algae and amoebas), Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia, but people started talking about a higher level of classification, the Domain. By the time I started teaching college in the 1990's, we were teaching the 3 Domains, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Now, Eukarya contained the Kingdoms Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia but Monerans were split into either the Domain Bacteria or the Domain Archaea, depending on major characteristics. So now the scientific definition of kingdom is the ranking within the classification system just below domain. If you look a little further into this subject, you will see that there is quite a bit of debate as to how many kingdoms there actually are, but most people still teach and hold onto the 5 Kingdom system, within the 3 Domains system, even though the molecular evidence does not support this entirely.

How can you find an answered diagram of plant kingdom groups?

you could just look it up online, i'm sure it will have something like that.


Are dinoflagellate a algae or a protozoa?

Dinoflagellates are actually neither plants nor animals. They are single-celled organisms and are, in fact, members of the Protist kingdom. They are plankton and can be either zooplankton or phytoplankton, which means they can be plant-like (photosynthetic producers) or animal-like (heterotrophic consumers).

What shows that an organism is living?

Well, it depends what kind of organism it is. If it is in the Fungi Kingdom, then you look at if the mold or yeast or mushroom is growing and expanding everyday. If it is in the Plant Kingdom, you look at if it is green and if it is growing everyday. If it is in the Animal Kingdom, you look at if the animal is moving and breathing well. If in the Bacteria and Archae Kingdom, then you must look under a microscope to see if it is moving.

According to the above cladogram which animal depicted is more closely related to sharks?

Without the specific cladogram provided, I can't determine which animal is more closely related to sharks. However, in general, based on evolutionary relationships, animals like rays and skates (which are also cartilaginous fish) are typically more closely related to sharks than bony fish or other vertebrates. If the cladogram includes these categories, look for the group that shares a more recent common ancestor with sharks.

What letter does a clade look like on a cladogram?

On a cladogram, a clade typically resembles a branching structure, which can sometimes be visualized as a "V" or "Y" shape. Each branch point, or node, represents a common ancestor, and the branches leading from it represent the descendant lineages. The clade includes all the organisms that descend from that common ancestor, forming a distinct grouping on the diagram.
