Q

Taxonomy ranks

A

Taxonomy ranks is the different classifications levels animals has to go through to find its name. Top to bottem we need at least seven ranks. A way to remeber the ranks is the saying? Keap …

Q

Phylogeny

A

The evolutionary history of any taxon´s origin and its classification, is normally presented as a tree drawing.

Q

Monophyly (subcategory of Phylogeny)

A

A point in history, where a group of animals (taxon) all has the same common (mono) ancestor.

Q

paraphyly (subcategory of Phylogeny)

A

When we have a taxon that includes the first ancestors but excludes the descendants.

Q

Polyphyly (subcategory of Phylogeny)

A

This taxon is a problem, because its joining animals which doesnt have the same most commen ansetors.
fx. fish and dolphins, they both live underwater and have a tail but doesn´t have the same most recent ansector.

Q

Cladistics

A

Cladistics is a more nuanced way of classify animal into different groups called clades, based on their shared common ancestor.

Q

crown and stem groups, clades or taxons

A

Think about it like a tree, we have the stem groups in the bottom and the crown groups at the top. The stem groups are the instinct groups, the dead branches which have been fallen of the stem.

Q

Sister group

A

A sister group is an extant crown group which is related to the another crown group through an earlier commen ancestor then the stem group.

Q

Is there any unicellular animals

A

Nooo, they are all multicellular, which is a key characteristic for animals

17
Q

asymetry, radial symmetrical, bilateral symmetry

A

Asymetry is when an organism is not symmetric at all. Radial symmetrical is when an organism is symmetrical in several ways. Bilateral symmetry is when an animal is symmetric in only one way, splitted through the head.

18
Q

What is the historic way of revolution, which monopolytic taxons was first.

A

Amphibians, mamals, reptiles and then birds.

19
Q

Can we take DNA from fossils? Is DNA more precies thens studies of bones?

A

Noooo, we can´t take DNA from fossils, but we can study their bones for similarities. DNA gives us a better idea of close groups, but sometimes there is a discussion between DNA and morphology scientists.
