The science of identifying organisms
taxonomy
What separates organisms within the same biblical kind into different species?
the Reproductive Barrier
Is this statement in line with modern evolutionary theory: Individual organisms that acquire useful characteristics during their lifetime can pass those characteristics on to their offspring
No, it happens over a many generations, not just a single lifetime
heterotrophic organisms with cell walls made of chitin; unicellular, but have multicellular reproductive stage; can form colonies
Fungi
Which origin story believes that Creation was completed in 6 literal days and the earth is 6000-8000 yrs old?
analogical day view, framework view, progressive creationism, theistic evolution, or young-earth Creationism
young-earth creationism
Each level of the classification system is called a(n)
taxon/taxa (plural)
How do most scientists assign a date to a layer in the geologic column (2 big things)
Index fossils and radiometric dating
How do evolutionists and creationists differ on their view of the ability of natural selection and adaptation to produce new organisms?
evolutionists believe change can occur across all kinds and creationists believe change only occurs as adaptation within each kind
unicellular or colonial, animal-like, mostly heterotrophic organisms that are motile as adults and have a pellicle
protozoa
god has intervened many times in earth's history to create new species
analogical day view, framework view, progressive creationism, theistic evolution, or young-earth Creationism
progressive creationism
In binomial nomenclature, what does each word in the scientific name of an organism stand for? ex: Macadamia integrifolia
both Latin words are italicized, the first is capitalized and is the genus of the organisms, the second is not capitalized and is the species
What makes an organism with certain traits be described as the "fittest"
if those traits allow it to pass on its genetic information (reproduce) better than organisms with different traits
According to evolutionist, when two very different organisms acquire similar traits (fish swim & some snakes swim) what is this phenomena called?
convergence
unicellular or colonial, plant-like or fungi-like, mostly autotrophic organisms with motile gametes and cell walls made of cellulose
Chromista
god created the world, but did not create individual species
analogical day view, framework view, progressive creationism, theistic evolution, or young-earth Creationism
Theistic evolution
according to a biblical worldview, when can divergence occur?
only within a biblical kind
On a phylogenetic tree (evolution version), all the organisms that diverged from a certain common ancestor are collectively known as a(n)
clade
Why didn't Darwin include a discussion of Genetics within On the Origin of Species
because Mendel had not yet done his study, so genetics as a discipline wasn't developed yet
unicellular or colonial, heterotrophic organisms, including many that are decomposers or cause disease, cell walls contain peptidoglycan
Bacteria
The seventh day of the creation week never ended
analogical day view, framework view, progressive creationism, theistic evolution, or young-earth Creationism
analogical day view
What is the purpose of modern classification systems, with the exception of baraminology?
to identify evolutionary relationships
List the 8 levels of classification from largest grouping to most specific
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
What did Darwin term his idea that all living things come from common ancestors?
descent with modification
unicellular or colonial, heterotrophic or autotrophic organisms known for living in harsh conditions, cell walls don't contain peptidoglycan
Archaea
the order of the Genesis days is topical, not historical; the days of Creation represent a literary structure of paired days
analogical day view, framework view, progressive creationism, theistic evolution, or young-earth Creationism
framework view
