The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the classification of organisms P, Q, R, S, and T based on the given dichotomous key, we will follow the steps outlined in the key: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Genetic Material**: - The first question in the key asks if the genetic material is enclosed in a nucleus. - If **not enclosed**, we proceed to step II. - If **enclosed**, we proceed to step III. 2. **Step II - Prokaryotes**: - Since we are considering the case where genetic material is **not enclosed** in a nucleus, we go to step II. - In step II, we have two options: - (a) If it **lacks a cell wall**, it is classified as **P** (this corresponds to **Mycoplasma**). - (b) If it **possesses a cell wall**, it is classified as **Q** (this can correspond to **Bacteria**). 3. **Step III - Eukaryotes**: - If the genetic material is **enclosed** in a nucleus, we proceed to step III. - In step III, we have two options: - (a) If it is a **unicellular organism**, it is classified as **R** (this could be a **Protist** or **Yeast**). - (b) If it is a **multicellular organism**, we proceed to step IV. 4. **Step IV - Multicellular Organisms**: - In step IV, we have two options: - (a) If the plant body is **sporophytic and water is required for fertilization**, it is classified as **S** (this corresponds to **Pteridophytes**). - (b) If the plant body is **sporophytic and water is not required for fertilization**, it is classified as **T** (this corresponds to **Angiosperms**). ### Summary of Classifications: - **P**: Mycoplasma (lacks cell wall, prokaryote) - **Q**: Bacteria (possesses cell wall, prokaryote) - **R**: Protist or Yeast (unicellular eukaryote) - **S**: Pteridophyte (sporophytic, requires water for fertilization) - **T**: Angiosperm (sporophytic, does not require water for fertilization)
