Q

Which kingdoms are prokaryotic?
(Prokaryotes also differ from eukaryotes in that they contain only a single loop of stable chromosomal DNA stored in an area named the nucleoid, while eukaryote DNA is found on tightly bound and organised chromosomes.)

A

Ability to replicate and make new individuals

22
Q

What groups are organisms organized into?

A

Kingdom, Phyllum, Class, Order, Genus, and Species

23
Q

A species is a group of individuals that live in the same habitat and breed together producing fertile offspring

24
Q

What are Invertebrates?

A

Invertebrates are a group of animals that do not have vertebral column. Such as, Nematodes, Annelids, Molluscs, and Arthopods.

25
What are the different types of Arthropods?
Crustaceans, Myriapods, Insects, Arachnids
26
What are Vertebrates?
Animals with vertebral column or back bone are called Vertebrates. They have an internal skeleton made of bone or cartilage. Such as, Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, and Mammals.

Monocots, Dicots have two cotyledons
29
Which has net like leaf veins?
Dicots, Monocots have usually parallel veins
30
Which has Vascular bundles usually arranged in ring?
Dicots, Monocots have vascular bundles usually complexly arranged
31
Which has a fibrous root system?
Monocots, Dicots have a taproot usually present
32
Which has floral parts usually in multiples of four or five?
Dicots, Monocots have floral parts usually in multiples of three
