Answer to Problem 1QQ

Plant and animals form two major forms of life on the surface of the Earth.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The living organism are classified according to their structure and type of cell. The living things are classified into five major kingdoms. These kingdoms are given as:

  • Kingdom Monera
  • Kingdom Protista
  • Kingdom fungi
  • Kingdom plantae
  • Kingdom Animalia

Option a is: The two major forms of life on Earth

The living things are classified into five kingdoms on Earth. The maximum species out of these are classified under kingdom plantae and kingdom animalia and all other kingdoms represent a small number of living organisms.

Thus, option (a) is correct.

Option b is: The only organism that have DNA.

DNA is an abbreviation used for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. This is present in the nucleus of the cell. All the living organisms on earth possess DNA as their genetic material. So, the kingdom Monera, Protista and Fungi also have DNA.

Thus, option (b) is incorrect.

Option c is: Just two small branches of the tree of the life on Earth.

Animals and plants occupy the maximum section of the living organisms.

Thus, option (c) is incorrect.

Conclusion:

Plants and animals are the two major forms of life on Earth
