classifies, names, and identifies microorganisms based on genotypical and phenotypical
characteristics. - Answer Taxonomy can be described as a system that:
classifies microorganisms, based on their cellular and colonial traits.
classifies microorganisms, based on their genetic makeup.
classifies, names, and identifies microorganisms based on genotypical and phenotypical
characteristics.
classifies microorganisms, based on their phenotypic makeup.
phenotypic - Answer Colonial and microscopic morphologic properties, along with the
pigmentation of colonies, would belong to a microorganism group of __________
characteristics.
phenotypic
subspecies
genotypic
taxonomic
,has been moved from one genus (Pseudomonas) to another genus (Burkholderia). - Answer
The use of a double genus in a microorganism's label, such as Burkholderia (Pseudomonas),
indicates that the bacterium:
does not fit well in either group but has some characteristics of both groups.
has been moved from one genus (Pseudomonas) to another genus (Burkholderia).
is a genetic cross between the two groups
