18
Q

Taxonomy

A

The branch of biology that names and classifies species, formalizes the ordering of species into groups of increasing breadth, based on the degree to which they share characteristics.

19
Q

Taxonomy mnemonic

A

Species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, domain.
King David & Phillip came over from great Spain.

20
Q

3 domains of life and their kingdoms

A

Prokaryotes, diverse and widespread, no membrane bound nucleus, single cell, no membrane bound organelles.

22
Q

Domain archaea characteristics

A

Prokaryotes, extremophiles, single cell, no membrane bound nucleus, no membrane bound organelles.

23
Q

Domain Eukarya characteristics

A

Eukaryotic cells, bigger, more complex, has membrane bound nucleus, membrane bound organelles, mostly multi cell (exception for others)

24
Q

Charles Darwin

A

Studied natural selection ; wrote: the origins of species.

25
Q

Natural selection

A

Evolutionary adaptation

Species that have the best suited trait, have better changed if propagating and better chance to pass down its genes.

26
Q
