Question

Give two reasons why the Protista kingdom does not appear to be a natural group.

Answer 1

Protista:

1. Protists include all eukaryotes that aren't fungi, animals, or plants.
2. As a result, this group has a wide range of species.
3. Except for a primitive organizational framework, the eukaryotes that make up this kingdom, Kingdom Protista, have nothing in common.
4. There are mainly two reasons,

1. In protista, there are several evolutionary lineages and
2. Dinoflagellates are mesokaryotic, not eukaryotic.
