Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So which one is true regarding the kingdom Protess to. Before we jump into our answer choices, I want you to recall that this kingdom protest to is used to include organisms from different kingdoms that do not have the key characteristics of that kingdom. So now that we know that let's go over each of our answer choices so that we may solve the problem. So answer choice A states. It contains all pro chorionic cells. Well remember that the kingdom potus to is used again as a kingdom where we include ilk periodic organisms that do not have the characteristics of the other kingdoms. They do not include pro chorionic cells. So we're going to cancel this out. Then we have answer choice and contains only plant like organisms where potus to contains some augie. There are plant like organisms. However, they do not contain the key characteristics of plants. However they contain more than that. They contain many different eukaryotic organisms. They do not contain only these. So we're going to cancel it out. The same thing can be said about answer choice. E they contain only animal like organisms. And these are called proto zones. They contain much more than that. In terms of UKE areas, not only these animals like organisms. So we're going to cancel as well. Then we have answer choice. It is a hutch punch of different evolutionary lineages and this is what we were talking at the beginning of the video. So we have these you carry. It's that we do not know what to do with them because they don't have the key characteristics of the kingdoms that they should belong to. So what we do is that we place them under kingdom perotistas. So it becomes this punch where we place everything that we really don't know where to place it. Because of this answer choice B is going to be the correct answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
