Can you answer all the parts of this question about this picture
A:This organism is a member of which phylum?
B: This organism is a member which genus and species?
C:This organism uses which structure to capture prey? (Hint: it has a stylet on it)
Give 5 species of genus agrobacterium. Then make a clade. The clade must observe the rules of constructing a cladogram. Synapomorphies must describe all organisms above it but not below it.
Draw a simpler version of the phylogenetic tree that just depicts the four supergroups of eukaryotes after viewing the image. Now imagine the tree as if the unikonts were the first eukaryotes to diverge from the rest of the eukaryotes.
