55. In the hierarchical system of biological classification, as established by Linnaeus and still in use today, the order of categories from least (most specialized) to most (least specialized) is:
a. species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom
b. species, genus, order, family, phylum, class, kingdom
c. species, genus, phylum, order, family, class, kingdom
d. species, genus, class, order, family, phylum, kingdom
56. If you know only the binomial, or Scientific Name, of an organism, you would automatically know its:
a. family and species
d. class and species
b. genus and order
e. genus and species
c. order and class
57. Species that belong to the same Class must also belong to the same:
a. genus
c. order
b. family
d. phylum
58. With the burgeoning increase in information that we continue to amass regarding our understanding of organisms on this planet, both living and extinct, it is now often the case that more specific categories have to be recognized in the standard classification hierarchy, such as "Domains," or "Subfamilies" or "Superorders." Above the level of "Kingdom" in the "new improved hierarchy":
a. there are actually no further levels
b. are the levels of "Domain" and "Superkingdom"
c. are the levels of "Domain" and "Supergroup"
d. is the "Supergroup" level only
e. is the "Domain" level only
59. Prokaryotes are BEST defined as:
a. unicellular organisms with nuclei
b. multicellular organisms with nuclei
c. unicellular organisms without nuclei
d. multicellular organisms without nuclei
60. Which of the following is characteristic of the group of organisms known as eukaryotes?
a. The group includes the first living cells
b. Blue-green algae are members of the group
c. The cytoplasm contains few or no organelles
d. Proteins are not associated with their DNA
e. A nuclear membrane is present, and most organelles are membrane-bound
