Which of the following traits do plants share with animals?

If 2 organisms reside in the same phylum, which other classification group do they have to share?

Classification and Taxonomy

The largest group of organisms is the Kingdom, which encompasses numerous species.
Scientific names of organisms are determined by their Genus and species classifications.
The modern classification system was developed by Carl Linnaeus.
The field of classifying and naming living organisms is known as Taxonomy.

Kingdoms and Organism Characteristics

Archaebacteria contains extremophiles, organisms that thrive in extreme environments.
Organisms in the kingdom Animalia are classified as multicellular and heterotrophic, meaning they cannot produce their own food.
The six kingdoms of life include Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.

Domains and Classification Levels

There are three domains of life: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.
The eight levels of biological classification, from smallest to largest, are: Species, Genus, Family, Order, Class, Phylum, Kingdom, Domain.

Autotrophic and Unicellular Organisms

The Protista kingdom includes unicellular autotrophic organisms, capable of photosynthesis.
Plants and animals are both classified as eukaryotic organisms, sharing complex cellular structures.

Scientific Naming and Relationships

The scientific classification system is referred to as Binomial nomenclature, which assigns two names (Genus and species) to each organism.
Canis lupus refers to the wolf, with "lupus" being the species name.
Cladograms are diagrams used to illustrate the relationships between various organisms based on their evolutionary history.

Classifications and Relationships

If two organisms belong to the same phylum, they must also share the same kingdom classification.
