His spinal got injured and there were scratches on his upper back, head, and scalp. His body did not respond to the painful stimuli down the nipples, his blood pressure is low, his lower limbs were paralyzed, and body temperature is below the normal level. Characters in the case: The medical specialists andJimmy Chin. Adequate information: The injury in the spinal cord shows no reflex activity and as a result of the injury, the muscles become paralyzed.

Imagine you are a botanist. Below are characteristics of a never-before described plant species recently identified as part of the ‘All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory’ (ATBI). Field Notes: Specimen collected from shaded area along stream in South Cumberland State Park (Grundy County, TN). Laboratory Analysis: Body: Large leaves emerging from underground rhizome. Size: 63 cm Chromosomal Analysis: Plant body is diploid—chromosome number of 44. Lignin test: Positive Cuticle: Present Leaves: Present—large with branched veins. Underside has sori (containing haploid spores). Roots: Present—branch from the inside. Stem: Present—vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) present. Life History: Diploid sporophyte dominant generation. Haploid spores germinate into heart-shaped, haploid, gametophyte. Water required for fertilization; no seed is produced. Diploid zygote develops into sporophyte.
