Introduction:
Linnaeus’s system of classification was the first formal system of taxonomic organization. His method of naming organisms is called binomial nomenclature. Taxonomy is study of identifying, naming and classifying species based on natural relationships. The taxonomic categories are part of a nested hierarchal system- each category is contained within another, as they are arranged from broadest to most specific.
Answer to Problem 16A
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option A. family
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option A. family − Domestic cat and coyote, both belong to the order Carnivora but domestic cat belong to the family Felidae and coyote belong to the family Canidae. Since their families are different they diverge from family onwards.
Hence this is the correct option.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option B. class − Domestic cat and coyote, both belong to the same class Mammalia but domestic cat belong to the family Felidae and coyote belong to the family Canidae. Since their families are different they diverge from family onwards.
Hence this is not the correct option.
Option C. order- Domestic cat and coyote, both belong to the same order Carnivora but domestic cat belong to the family Felidae and coyote belong to the family Canidae. Since their families are different they diverge from family onwards.
Hence this is not the correct option.
Option D. genus − Domestic cat and coyote, both belong to different genuses but before genus they belong to different families. Domestic cat belong to the family Felidae and coyote belong to the family Canidae. Since their families are different they diverge from family onwards.
Hence this is not the correct option.

In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardIf a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forward

Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions. Details: You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons. Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references. Think carefully about how best to organize and structure your answer. Aim for high information density: say a lot, but say it succinctly. Recall Nietzche’s…arrow_forward
