To explain: The reason for abandoning of the five kingdom classification system for a three-domain system.
Concept introduction:
Organisms are classified into different taxa or groups based on their genetic data or morphology. A taxon is a single or a group of organisms that are placed in one category. Earlier, biologists placed the organism into the five kingdom system. These are Monera, Protista, Plantae,

- According to the land bridge theory, why may people have crossed into North America from Siberia?arrow_forwardFigure 10.7 Why was Dolly a Finn-Dorset and not a Scottish Blackface sheep?arrow_forwardFrom the 1700s to the early 1950s there was an unusually high percentage of deaf people on the island of Martha’s Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts, USA.Deafness was a recessive hereditary trait, and there was a very small population of people living on the island. This meant that almost everyone had both deaf and hearing siblings. In the mid-1850s, the frequency of deaf people on the island was well over 30% higher than the U.S. national average.The high frequency of deaf individuals on the island of Martha’s Vineyard is best explained by Select one: a. genetic drift b. founder effect c. non-random mating d. bottleneck effectarrow_forward
- In genetics, what does the term population mean? Pick any species you like and describe how its population might change over the course of many generations.arrow_forwardA/An ________ is a group of organisms that is more likely to breed with each other than outsiders. a) Mendelian population b) Extron c) Dominance hierarchy d) Genetic communityarrow_forwardA subpopulation of a species of birds migrates to a different location from the rest of the species for breeding purposes. How might the genes change in the subpopulation? A. Their genes would change randomly and eventually revert to normalcy, which would allow the subpopulation to return to the main population. B. Their genes would change to better allow them to survive and reproduce in their new location. C. Their genes would not change at all and they would merely be a subpopulation living in a different location. D. Their genes would change so that they would continue to be well-adapted to their former location.arrow_forward

- A new virus has been recently introduced to your snail population. You think you’ve found a gene that confers resistance to the virus. The gene has two allele variants in the population, such that homozygous recessive individuals are resistant to the virus. You do a chi-square test to determine if there is evidence for selection favoring the gene of interest. Your resulting chi-square value was: 2.91. Which of the following statements is the most correct conclusion drawn from your results? a. The null hypothesis that the population is in HWE is supported. b. There is evidence for selection because the population appears to be in HWE. c. There is not enough information to determine if the population is in HWE. d. The null hypothesis that the population is in HWE is rejected.arrow_forwardCan you help me answer this and explain how did you get the answer?arrow_forwardIdentify and briefly describe the four levels of genetic boundary classification in Southeast Asia.arrow_forward
