What animals share the same genes as the platypus?
No animals share the same genes as the platypus. To suggest they do would be to suggest the platypus is a mixture of other animals which, or course, it is not.
Why is scientific classification used?
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.
Can two animals have the same scientific name?
No because if two animals have the exact same scientific name then they would be the same animal.
What other animals has the same classification as lobsters?
Turtles, newts.
Why do the scientific names of all the animals begin with the same word?
They don't. The scientific name for humans is Homo sapiens, while the scientific name for lions is Panthera leo. Related animals begin with the same word (tiger, Panthera tigris), because the first word is the genus name, and the second word is the species name. A genus is a level of classification slightly larger than species.
What breed is a platypus?
The Platypus is one of only a few species in the order monotrema, or egg-laying mammals. They are separate from placental mammals and marsupials.There is no scientific definition of the term "breed" but it is generally used to refer to a group of animals with a homogeneous appearance, behavior, and other characteristics that distinguish it from other animals of the same species. The platypus has only one species (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) and is the single remaining representative of its taxonomical family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record. Since a breed is a subdivision within a species and the platypus is its own species, the term "breed" does not apply to the platypus. For that matter, since breeds are usually defined in terms of domesticated animals and the platypus is not domesticated, there is yet another reason to assert that applying the term "breed" to the platypus is incorrect. There are no breeds within the platypus species.
What is the same as a platypus?
There is no animal the same as a platypus. Platypuses are completely unique.
What do scientists use to classify animals in the same family?
Scientists use the scientific classification system to classify animals. The scientific classification system is broken down into seven parts: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
Does a duck live in a platypus family?
Of course not. Ducks and platypuses do not belong in the same family. They are not even in the same classification of vertebrates, and are not even remotely related. Platypuses are also solitary creates, living alone.
What benefits come from all scientists using the same classification system?
they all classify the animals as the same animal and can communicate names of the plants and animals better
Do platypuses have ancestors?
All animals have ancestors.Further information:The platypus has only ever been a platypus. Contrary to popular opinion, it has not been an otter, a duck or a beaver. Fossils of possible platypus ancestors indicate that, if it did indeed have other ancestors, they shared the same characteristics it has today. The main difference is that earlier forms of the platypus had teeth.
How is a platypus one of the world's oldest animals?
Platypuses are believed to have been virtually unchanged over time. Fossils of possible platypus ancestors indicate that, if it did indeed have other ancestors, they shared the same characteristics it has today.
