A new organism is found that is multicellular, does not have a backbone and has six legs. Classfy this organism in two ways.
2010 DDDAAAANNNGGG ! WE IN 2019 BRO!!!
What do you call organisms without backbones? What organisms have six legs?
Look up "without backbone" and "six legs" on Google.
In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.
I hope this helps.
To classify the new organism, we can use two different classification systems: the Linnaean taxonomy and the cladistics approach.
1. Linnaean taxonomy classification:
In the Linnaean classification system, organisms are classified into hierarchical categories based on their characteristics. The system includes several levels, including kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
Based on your description of the organism as multicellular, without a backbone, and having six legs, we can classify it in the following way:
- Kingdom: Animalia (animals)
- Phylum: Arthropoda (joint-legged animals)
- Class: Insecta (insects)
- Order: [Specific Order]: Without further information, we cannot determine the specific order.
- Family: [Specific Family]: Without further information, we cannot determine the specific family.
- Genus: [Specific Genus]: Without further information, we cannot determine the specific genus.
- Species: [Specific Species]: Without further information, we cannot determine the specific species.
2. Cladistics classification:
Cladistics is a classification approach that utilizes evolutionary relationships. Organisms are categorized based on shared derived characteristics, where closely related organisms are grouped together in the same clade.
In this case, we would need more information to determine the organism's specific clade within the Arthropoda phylum. Additional characteristics, genetic or anatomical data, and comparison with other known organisms would be necessary for a proper cladistic classification.
Please note that without more specific information about the organism, we cannot provide a more precise classification.
