Opisthokonta
Also known as Opisthokonts, Opisthokont
The opisthokonts () are a broad group of eukaryotes, including both the animal and fungus kingdoms. The opisthokonts, previously called the "Fungi/Metazoa group", are generally recognized as a clade. Opisthokonts together with Apusomonadida and Breviata make up the larger clade Obazoa.
AI overview
Opisthokonts are a major group of eukaryotic organisms that includes all animals and all fungi, making them one of the broadest categories of life on Earth. Scientists recognize opisthokonts as a clade—a group of organisms descended from a common ancestor—and they form part of an even larger group called Obazoa when combined with two smaller organisms called Apusomonadida and Breviata.
