The answer is that the criteria of classification change with the improved understanding of organisms around us. During the time of Aristotle, not much was known about the living organisms. So, he classified them as he observed. Plants were classified into herbs, shrubs and trees; very much like what’s taught to a second grade student. Animals as Enaima and Anaima based on the presence or absence of RBCs. After him, Carolus Linnaeus tried his hand over classification. He came up with the 2 kingdom classification: Plants and Animals. He considered only a set of morphological and physiological criteria to decide the kingdom to which an organism belongs. It includes presence of cell wall, mode of nutrition, contractile vacuole, locomotion and others. Based on these criteria, he included widely differing organisms into a single kingdom, for example, fungi, bacteria, algae, and higher plants were included into plant kingdom just because they have cell wall as a common aspect. Then came, Ernst Haeckel, who came with a third kingdom of Protista to include unicellular organisms. Copeland gave a 4 kingdom classification segregating unicellular organisms into 2 separate kingdoms based on their nuclear structure. R.H. Whittaker came next introducing the most accepted 5 kingdom classification system. You should understand one thing that man’s knowledge of classifying organisms improved with the improving technologies available to him, which he exploited to very effective extent. Carl Woese gave the 6 kingdom classification and 3 domain system based on the 16S rRNA sequence.
Our understanding of organisms around us is improving day by day and the system of classification will also change further in pace with the improvement in technology.
I hope this helps! :D]

Answer:
50% probability of Pp (purple) or pp (white) genotype.
Explanation:
P = purple gene
p = white gene
Punnet squares show the possible genotypes and probabilities of each genotype in the offspring of a cross:
Purple flower genotype (heterozygous) = Pp
White flower genotype = pp
Punnet Square:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&P&p\\p&Pp&pp\\p&Pp&pp\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D%26P%26p%5C%5Cp%26Pp%26pp%5C%5Cp%26Pp%26pp%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Potential genotypes for offspring are Pp and pp;
According to the Punnett square, 2 of 4 offspring will have the Pp genotype and the other 2 will have pp genotypes;
This means 2 should be purple and 2 white;
Or, there is a 50% chance of having either genotype, of being purple or white.
I don't have the story please put it in the comments so I can read it :)

<h2>Availability of Plankton</h2>
Explanation:
- The term plankton comes from the Greek derivative planktos, meaning wandering. Organisms in this group spend either part or all of their life in a drifting state, with no ability to swim against a current. Most have little or no ability to swim at all. Though some are larger, most planktonic creatures are microscopic and make up the bottom of the food chain in aquatic environments
- Plankton can be divided into two categories: phytoplankton are those organisms that are plant-like, and zooplankton are organisms that are animal-like. Interestingly enough, many planktonic species are neither plant nor animal but are creatures that belong to the kingdom Protista
- Zebra muscles are found in water bodies which attached to pipes and other surfaces of water supply to impliment the availability of plankton
