Create a mnemonic of your own that lists the levels in the order in which you listed them in question #5:arrow_forwardin our system of classification, organism R and X are placed in the same group. Organism B is placed in a different group. This tells you: R and X are less closely related to each other than to B B and R are more closely related to each other than to X X and B are more closely related to each other than to R R and X are more closely related to each other than to B none of these organisms are relatedarrow_forward1) For each of the organisms in the following table, complete the empty columns with an appropriate answer for each taxon.
