TAXONOMY
|
Classifying organisms
Assigning Names (universally accepted) |
|
|
WHY ASSIGN SCIETIFIC NAMES?
|
Common names are confusing
|
|
|
Who invented Bionomial Nomenclature?
|
Carolus Linnaeus
|
|
|
BIONOMIAL NOMENCLATURE assigns 2 names. What are they?
|
Genus & Species
|
|
|
Identify the 7 classification levels of Bionmial Nomenclature
|
Species
Genus Family Order Class Phylum Kindom |
|
|
Taxon
|
A level within the Bionmial Nomenclatuer (ie order, class)
|
|
|
Phylogeny
|
Evolutionary relationships among organisms
|
|
|
Evolutionary Classification
|
Grouping organisms together based on their evolutionary history
|
|
|
Cladogram

Diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms
|
|
|
Cladistic Analysis
|
Identify & Consider characteristcs of organimss that are evolutionary innovations. These are new characteristsics that arise as lineages evolve over time
|
|
|
Derived Characteristics
|
Characteristics that appear in recent parts of a lineage, but not in its older members.
|
|
|
Similar DNA
|
DNA show similarites at the molecular level and can be used to help determine classification and evolutionary relationships
|
|
|
