Which animal is referred to as the ship of the disert?
The camel or dromedary. These are actually two different but related species.
Is a moorhen a duck?
No they are two different species of animals.
In evolutionary terms the more closely two organisms are the?
In evolutionary terms, the more closely two organisms are related, the more recent their common ancestor and the more genetic material they share. This relationship is reflected in their DNA sequences, anatomy, and developmental pathways, indicating a closer evolutionary history. Organisms that are more closely related are usually classified into the same taxonomic groups, like species or genera.
Can two species be members of the same genus and not the same family?
Yes, the systems used for the taxonomic nomenclature of organisms are distinct and independent between kingdoms. The binomial name given to a species must be unique only within the kingdom to which the species belongs. For this reason, no two animals species and no two plant species could share the same name, but one plant and one animal may. Because the domain Eukarya is divided into six kingdoms, there could theoretically be six species with a common binomial (scientific) name.
Why is the description of synapomorphies important in the work of systematics?
The description of synapomorphies (A derived trait shared by two or more species that is believed to reflect their shared ancestry) is important in the work of systematics (taxonomy) because then the systematists can know how the two or more species is related.
What part of the scientific name will two organisms share if they are related?
When using genus and species in taxonomy , the genus will be the same for two very closely related organisms. The species will separate them.
How can we determine if two species are closely related based on the criteria that they share a common ancestor and exhibit similar genetic and morphological characteristics?
Two species can be determined to be closely related if they share a common ancestor and show similarities in their genetic makeup and physical characteristics. By comparing their DNA sequences and physical traits, scientists can assess the degree of relatedness between the two species.
Two species are classified in the same genus. How does this classification reflect the evolutionary relationship between the two species?
it means the species shared a common ancestor in the recent past
What is a homonym fly?
A homonym fly is a term used to describe two different species of flying insects that share the same common name, but are not closely related. This can lead to confusion between the two species due to the shared name.
Are two organisms that share the same order more or less closely related that species that share the same class?
No. If they do not belong to the same class, they can't be in the same order or family. The classification goes: Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
Is it advantage for two species to share the same niche?
no
If two species have similar DNA what hypothesis is supported?
When the DNA is similar between two species it means there is a biological connection to each other.
Two species are said to be closely related if they?
Have several similar characteristics or similar backgrounds. Like, the snake and the lizard are related because they are both reptiles, they are both cold blooded, they both have scales, etc. Or the bunny and the whale are both related because they are mammals, but not having to do anything with the outward appearance. So it really depends on what animals you are comparing!
Are meerkats related to ferrets?
No, they are not. As you move down the species classification system, the last category the two animals share in common is that they are both carnivores. Meerkats are in fact more closely related to mongooses.
Two different species belongs in the same class . What other levels of classification do they have in common?
Two different species that belong in the same class will also share the same phylum and kingdom in their classification. This means they will be more closely related to each other than species in different classes.
What does it mean when two species share a common ancestor?
An ancestor.
Which two species are most closely related to each other?
Humans and chimpanzees are the two species that are most closely related to each other.
