Question

The table below provides information about four organisms. All four organisms are classified as Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, Class Mammalia. Which of these organisms are most likely classified in the same Order?

A Eastern mole, coyote, and red fox, because they all have thick fur.

B Coyote, eastern mole, and red fox, because they live in similar habitats.

C Eastern mole and side-striped jackal, because they have specified dietary needs.

D Side-striped jackal, red fox, and coyote, because they have shared physical characteristics.

Answer 1

The side-striped jackal, red fox, and coyote all belong to the Order Carnivora, making them the most likely to be classified in the same Order due to shared physical characteristics.

Step-by-step explanation:

The side-striped jackal, red fox, and coyote are most likely classified in the same Order because they share physical characteristics. According to the classification system, these canines are all part of the Order Carnivora, Family Canidae. Their common characteristics include being carnivorous mammals with similar dental structures adapted for hunting and eating meat.

The Eastern mole, although also a mammal, belongs to a different Order - insectivores, specifically the Order Eulipotyphla, which is distinct from Carnivora due to different dietary habits and physical traits.

Answer 2

Kingdom Animalia

Step-by-step explanation:

Living organisms have been classified into a large group called DOMAIN. Based on the domain classification, living organisms are either prokaryotic (without a membrane-bound nucleus) or eukaryotic (possess membrane-bound nucleus). The domains were further classified into six (6) Kingdoms viz: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.

Each living organisms that make up a Kingdom has its own characteristics. Based on the characteristics outlined in the attached image, it depicts that of a living organism in Kingdom Animalia because all animals are belong to the domain Eukarya i.e. are eukaryotic, multicellular and heterotrophic.

Organisms in Kingdom Animalia depend on other organisms for their food source i.e. heterotrophic. They possess more than one cell i.e. multicellular.
