Can humans and animals procreate with each other?
No, different species of animals cannot procreate with each other; this is part of the definition of "species". There are some minor exceptions between very closely related species, such as horses and donkeys, the offspring of which are mules, but unless they are extremely closely related (such as the big cats), such offspring are usually sterile.With plants it gets a little weirder, though even there hybrids are often (but not always) sterile.
Why are fungi thought to be more closely related to protists instead of plants?
Fungi are not plants mainly because they are heterotrophic and lack the capacity to perform photosynthesis. Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants and most protists. (The term protist has no phylogenetic meaning anymore. That is, "protists" are not all related to one another. There are some prostists that group with fungi in the most recent eukaryotic tree of life. However, more research needs to be done to discover the synapomorphies, or shared, derived traits, between fungi and these protists.) They are more similar to protists in that many protists are also heterotrophic. However, most protists use the DAP pathway to synthesize lysine while fungi use the AAA pathway. Protists use a variety of compounds to store energy. Plants use starch and starch-like compounds. Fungi and animals use glycogen. The cisternae of the mitochondria of many protists are tubular, while animals and fungi have plate-like cisternae.
Do the elephant and sponge come under the same kingdom?
Yes, they are both classified as animals, in the kingdom Animalia.(Some sponges much more closely resemble plants.)
Why are plants important to animals?
Animals get most of their energy and nutrition from plants. Animals either eat the plants, or eat animals that ate the plants. Also, it gives animals a place to live. Such as spiders, ants, moles, and other animals. Plants also provide animals oxygen.
Describe how animals and plants are codependent?
Animals and plants are codependent upon on another for several reasons. Namely, animals depend on plants for nourishment while plants depend on animals for fertilizer.
Are mushrooms phylogenetically more closely related of plants or to animals?
Animals.
Which two groups are closely related evolutionarily plants and animals plants and fungi fungi and animals?
fungi & animals
Are Australia's plants and animals closely related to those of Africa?
The plants and animals of Australia are closely related to Africa because their land masses used to be connected. This also explains the similar plants and animals in other regions of the world.
Are Australia's plants and animals are closely related to those of Africa?
no
Do plant's cells have centrioles?
NO plants do not have centrioles, but have a spindle closely identical to the Animals
Define evolutionary theory?
Evolutionary theory is a scientific explanation for the mechanisms and patterns of biological evolution, proposing that species change over time through the process of natural selection, genetic drift, and other factors. It helps to understand how organisms have evolved and diversified over generations.
During his trip on the Beagle Darwin found that?
plants and animals living on a continent seemed more closely related to each other than to plants and animals living in similar regions on other continents
Do crinoids do photosynthesis?
No, they don't. Photosynthesis occurs in the chlorophyll of plants.. Crinoids are animals; do be specific, they are enchinoderms. They are closely related to starfish. Hope this helped!
Which fungal features supports the phylogenetic conclusion that fungi are more closely related to animals than plants?
the cell walls of fungi are made of chitin
What two plants have no true stem or roots or leaves?
"Fungus And mosses dont have true leaves, stems or roots." Fungi aren't plants... they are fungi. More closely related to animals than plants.
What type of molecular comparison would help to determine whether fungi are more closely related to plants or to animals?
A phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from members of all three kingdoms (Plus an outgroup) would reveal who fungi are most closely related to.
Why is the Protest kingdom been abandoned by modern taxonomists?
Some protists are more closely related to plants, animals, or fungi than they are to other protist and it is polyphyltic
