proposed a definition of the term species
referred to as the biological species
concept

A

PHYLOGENY

17
Q

classifying organisms based not only on
physical similarities but also on their
ancestry and descent

A

PHYLOGENIC SPECIES

18
Q

the field of taxonomy that deals with identifying the
evolutionary relationships among the many different kinds of
life on Earth, including extant and extinct

A

PHYLOGENETIC SYSTEMATIC

19
Q

proposed by Charles Darwin in his On the
Origin of Species
used as an analogy to demonstrate that
all species originated from one or two
species
ancestral groups being at the bottom
related species being at the branches
individual living species at the tips of
twigs

A

TREE OF LIFE

20
Q

Latin binomen which means “two names”
present system of naming organisms
first name is genus that ALWAYS starts
with a capital letter
second name is species that ALWAYS
starts with a small letter
This two-word name is referred to as
scientific name of a particular organism

A

BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE

21
Q

Latin words are usually descriptive
can give clues about the
characteristics of the organism, the
place where it was first identified, or
even the person who first identified
the organism
Example:

Fasciola hepatica - invades the liver (hepa)

Dillenia philippinensis - Philippine dillenia

Naja philippinensis - Philippine cobra

A

BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE

22
Q

Scientific names are
italicized if written in a printed material
underlined if written by hand
Examples

Humans: Homo sapiens (man who is wise)
Mango: Mangifera indica
Bacterium: Escherichia coli

A

BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE

23
Q

consisting of bacteria, archaea, eukarya

A

CONSISTING OF BACTERIA, ARCHEA, EUKARYA

24
Q

Carl Woese & Ralph S. Wolfe proposed a
third domain of life that led to the
development of a new six-kingdom system

Eukarya (animals, fungi, plants, protists)
Archaea (bacteria-like organisms living in
extreme environments)
Bacteria (true bacteria)

A

SIX KINDOM SYSTEM

25
Q

the Domain is the highest taxonomic
group, before the kingdom group
living world divided into three domains
2 prokaryotic
1 eukaryotic

A

SIX KINGDOM SYSTEM

26
Q

true bacteria and cyanobacteria

A

EUBACTERIA

27
Q

bacteria-like organisms in extreme
environments

A

ARCHAEA

28
Q

The living world is so diverse to the
point that it’s quite impractical and
impossible to enumerate each one of
the millions of classified organisms.

Now, let’s talk about the different
kingdoms.

A

BIRDS EYE VIEW

29
Q

most diverse and widespread among
the prokaryotes
unicellular that group together as
visible clusters of individual bacterial
cells (colonies)
they reproduce asexually

A

KINGDOM EUBACTERIA

30
Q

widely distributed in environments
where there is life
bodies of animals
plant tissues
soil and water
producers, consumers, and
decomposers

A

KINGDOM EUBACTERIA
