Which of the following statements about the "tree of life" is correct? Before Carl Woese, all cellular life forms were classified into five kingdoms: Monera, Fungi, Plants, Animals, and Protists. Using rRNA genes for phylogenetic reconstruction, Carl Woese uncovered a previously unrecognized group that was thought to be bacteria. Afterward, all cellular life forms were classified into three domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eucarya. It is found that the relationship among Archaea, Bacteria, and Eucarya changes, depending on which gene was used for phylogenetic reconstruction. All of the above

/tqżytbrxg Darwin's Bark Spider Claims Question: Why do traits for silk flexibility vary within this family of Darwin's bark spiders? Remember these are claims about why the trait for silk flexibility varies within the spider family. Claim 1: The offspring have mutations that affect their traits. Do we have enough evidence to support or eliminate any of the claims? WHY OR WHY Claim 2: The offspring's traits depend on which parent the offspring received more traits from. Claim 3: The offspring received different combinations of traits from their parents. NOT? Students, write your response! Pear Deck Interact

Can someone help explain this from a mathematicssl perspective? Consider a species that occupies a large, but fixed, number of islands. The distribution of the species across all islands is maintained by a balance between local extinctions and local colonization events. Devise a model for the relationship between the fraction of islands occupied by the species and time. Be clear to outline the assumptions you make and be sure to describe your key predictions.
