- cc_profilecc.essay.v0p1qmd_computerscoredNo<p>The linnaean classification system is based solely on physical characteristics. How has the classification of organisms changed since Linnaeus developed his taxonomy?</p>
<p>In your answer:</p>
<ul>
<li>explain how cladistics differsfrom Linnaean taxonomy</li>
<li>explain how new technologies in molecular biology and DNA research have affected the Linnaean classification system</li>
</ul>100
- cc_profilecc.essay.v0p1qmd_computerscoredNo<p>Viruses are infectious particles made only of nucleid acid surrounded by a protein coat. Viruses are not considered living and therefore are not found in the Linnaean system of taxonomy. Why are viruses not considered to be living?</p>
<ul>
<li>Explain how viruses differ structurally from living organisms such as bacteria</li>
<li>Explain the condistions needed for viruses to reproduce</li>
</ul>100
- cc_profilecc.essay.v0p1qmd_computerscoredNo<p>Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a serious public health concern. Many bacteria have become resistant to many antibiotics over the years. What has contributed to this problem?</p>
<ul>
<li>Explain how the misuse of antibiotics can increase the number of resistant bacteria</li>
<li>Explan how plasmid exchange contributes to the multi-drug resistant strains</li>
<li>Explain how natural selection favors this resistance</li>
