The three-domain system is a biological classification that divides cellular life forms into archaea‚ bacteria‚ and eukaryote domains. It emphasizes the separation of prokaryotes into two groups‚ called Bacteria and Archaea. These two groups and eukaryotes each came from separate ancestors with poorly developed genetic make-ups. This classification system recognizes the fundamental divide between the two prokaryotic groups. Archaea appear to be more closely related to eukaryotes than they are to

Also water‚ an abiotic factor‚ has an effect on how animals‚ a biotic factor‚ survive in certain areas of the world. 3. Because a different niche allows multiple species of organisms to coexist. If all organisms had the same niche‚ then there would be heavy competition for food‚ shelter‚ etc. Having different niches gives

individuals who work directly with wildlife have an increased risk of acquiring these diseases directly from animal hosts or their ectoparasites. Plague‚ tularemia‚ and leptospirosis have been acquired in the handling and skinning of rodents‚ rabbits‚ and carnivores.

Therefore‚ some general precautions should be taken to
