what is the difference between the definiton of a species, and the phylogenetic definition of a species
species- a group of organisms which can freely interbreed and produce fertile offspring
Phylogenetic species- group of organisms which are similar in appearance, biochemistry, genetics, physiology.
which kingdom is autotrophic
plantae
what kingdom is heterotrophic
animalia
what kingdom is both heterotrophic and autotrophic
Protoctista
which kingdom can be animal, plant and fungi-like
Protoctista
Prokaryotae have one loop of “NAKED” dna. What does this mean
their dna is not wound around histone proteins.
what are the walls of fungi made of
chitin
what does it mean if fungi are saprophytic
Saprophytic- they break down dead organic matter
describe the dna present in prokaryote
plasmid- one loop of dna in cytoplasm
describe features of animalia
