The grouping of objects or organisms based on a set of criteria
What is classification
100
First widely accepted system of biological classification was developed by
What is Aristotle
100
Concept that defines a species as a group of organisms that is able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring in a natural setting.
What is biological species concept
100
What is a cladogram?
What is branching diagram of an organisms evolutionary history
200
What are the six kingdoms
What is archaea, bacteria, fungi, plant, animal, protist
200
The broadest of all the taxa and contains one or more kingdoms
What is domain
200
Aristotle grouped organisms based on what?
What is physical features (red blood, plants, animals)
200
This concept is based on the idea that species are unchanging, distinct, and natural types
What is typological species concept
200
Characters taht are present in members of one group of the line but not in the common ancestor are
What is derived characters
300
A named group of organisms is called
What is taxa
300
Would early scientist such as Aristotle recognize the theory of evolution? Why or why not
What is No because they believed species where unchanging
300
The first formal system of taxonomy and binomial nomenclature where thanks to
What is Linnaeus
300
Concept that defines a species as a cluster of organisms that is distinct from other clusters and shows evidence of a pattern of ancestry and descent.
What is phylogenic species concept
300
Paramecium and amoeba are examples of what?
What is protists
400
The discipline of biology primarily concerned with identifying, naming, and classifying species based on natural relationships.
What is taxonomy
400
Three rules for correctly writing a scientific name
What is
The first letter of the genus name always is capitalized
If a scientific name is written in a printed book or magazine, it should be italicized.
When a scientific name is written by hand, both parts of the name should be underlined.
400
Organims with cell walls made of cellulose belong to which kingdom?
What is protist and plants
400
What is a limitation of the phylogenic species concept?
What is not all evolutionary histories are known for every organism
400
What assumption is made when constructing a cladogram?
What is
The more derived characters shared by groups, the more recently the groups share a common ancestor.
500
What are the 8 taxonomic categories?
What is Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
500
Morphological traits vs biochemical traits
What is physical traits vs DNA/RNA/protein
500
Analogous vs Homologous
Analogous characters are those that have the same function but different underlying construction.
Homologous characters might perform different functions, but show an anatomical similarity inherited from a common ancestor
500
What is a benefit of the typological species concept?
What is they provide detailed records of the physical characteristics of many species
500
Which kingdoms have organism that are both autotrophic and heterotrophic?
