Practice questions testing deep understanding of taxonomy, binomial nomenclature, and defining properties of life.
Q1. A biologist discovers a new organism in a deep-sea hydrothermal vent. It grows in size and responds to thermal stimuli. However, upon cellular analysis, it is found that its growth occurs entirely by the external accumulation of mineral deposits on its surface, not by cell division. Evaluate whether this organism should be considered 'living' based strictly on the defining properties of life.
Q2. When writing the scientific name of the modern human, a student writes "homo Sapiens." Identify the three specific rules of Binomial Nomenclature that the student has violated.
Q3. Assertion (A): Reproduction cannot be considered an all-inclusive defining characteristic of living organisms. Reason (R): There are many undeniably living organisms, such as worker bees, sterile human couples, and mules, that are completely incapable of reproducing.
