Taxonomy for mold?
Molds belong to the kingdom Fungi, and are classified in the division Ascomycota or Zygomycota. They are further categorized into various orders and families based on their morphological characteristics and reproductive structures. Common genera of mold include Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Alternaria.
What are the two problems with the five kingdom system of classification?
A. There are two distint lineages of prokaryotes. (This led to the development of the three-domain system.)B. Molecular systematics and cladistics have revealed that Protista is not a monophyletic grouping.
Is the kingdom protista a true clade?
No, the 'Kingdom' Protista is not a clade or monophyletic group at all, most likely. It could be that it should be divided into about 60 separate kingdoms. 'Protista' was used as a catch-all for unclassifyable groups. This surely does not reflect reality and work is under way to properly classify the algae and protista that swarm in this improper group called Protista.
Which of the following are problematic when the goal is to construct phylogenies that accurately reflect evolutionary history A monophyletic taxa B polyphyletic taxa C paraphyletic taxa?
Polyphyletic and paraphyletic taxa are problematic when the goal is to construct phylogenies that accurately reflect evolutionary history. These taxa do not accurately represent the evolutionary relationships between species and can lead to incorrect interpretations. Monophyletic taxa, on the other hand, are ideal for constructing phylogenies as they include all descendants of a common ancestor.
What kingdom is a pecan tree in?
The plant kingdom, Kingdom Plantae.
Why is the kingdom animalia polyphyletic and not monophyletic?
Its not polyphyletic, its monophyletic. There are no points where members stop being animals. Many mistake Porifera (sponges) as an exception, but they are animals too.
Are echinoderms monophyletic or polyphyletic?
monophyletic
What eukaryotic kingdom is not monophyletic and may soon be split into several kingdoms?
Protista is the eukaryotic kingdom that is not monophyletic and may soon be split into several kingdoms due to its diverse and unrelated members. This is because genetic research has shown that the members of Protista are more closely related to other eukaryotic kingdoms than to each other.
What is the difference between a clade and a monophyletic group in evolutionary biology?
In evolutionary biology, a clade is a group of organisms that includes an ancestor and all of its descendants. A monophyletic group is a type of clade that includes only the most recent common ancestor and all of its descendants. So, all monophyletic groups are clades, but not all clades are necessarily monophyletic groups.
Are animals considered monophyletic or paraphyletic in the field of evolutionary biology?
In the field of evolutionary biology, animals are considered monophyletic, meaning they all share a common ancestor and form a single evolutionary group.
What is a group called that includes an ancestor plus all its descendants?
monophyletic
What term is most likely associated with clade?
monophyletic
Are prokaryotes monophyletic?
Yes, prokaryotes are monophyletic, meaning they share a common evolutionary ancestor. This group includes bacteria and archaea, both of which are characterized by lacking a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
What eukaryotic kingdoms is not monophyletic and may soon be split into several kingdoms?
Protista
What are the characteristics of kingdom protoctista?
I'm hoping you meant Protista. Kingdom protista is actually very diverse. They are a monophyletic group, meaning they are diverse. They are primarily unicellular, and pretty much tiny, usually microscopic. Some can perform photosynthesis, while are heterotrophs, having to eat like an animal. Hope that helps!
What is synapomorphy?
It's a trait common in a single monophyletic group,but not generally found outside of that group.
Are fish monophyletic?
No, fish are not monophyletic. The term "fish" is a paraphyletic group because it includes some but not all descendants of a common ancestor. It does not include tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates such as amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) which share a more recent common ancestor with some fish species.
