Q

is written in italics with the genus named capitalisation

the species name

19
Q

Levels of classification

20
Q

devised a system of grouping organism into categories according to their form and structure

A

Carolus Linnaeus

21
Q

WHAT ARE TWO REASONS THAT SPECIES NAMES ARE MORE PRECISE THAN COMMON NAMES?

A

help show relationships between organisms;there used universally

22
Q

species names some from (blank) roots and are intended for all countries and languages

A

Latin

23
Q

ancestry diagrams made by means of cladistic analysis

A

cladogram

24
Q

a system of phylogenetic classification using shared derived characters and the recency of ancestry in the sole criterion for grouping taxa

A

cladistics

25
Q

many naturalists also found that common names were not useful to identify organism because

A

NAMES CAN VERY FROM PLACE TO PLACE AND DO NOT DESCRIBE THE RELATIONSHIP AMONG ORGANISM

26
Q

a featured that involved only within the group under consideration, such as the feathers of birds

A

derived character

27
Q

systematic taxonomy; taxonomic organisation of living things in the context of evolution

A

systematics

28
Q

To make a phylogenetic tree, scientists use several different features:

A
Fossils                      rRNA
Homologous structures  
Embryological evidence  
Genes in the nucleus 
Mitochondria DNA
29
Q

is the evolutionary history of a species

A

Phylogeny

Q

is the analysis of evolutionary relationships among species

A

Phylogenetic’s

31
Q

cladistics was devolved by a German biologist

A

William Hennig

32
Q

a family that shows the evolutionary relationships thought to exist among groups of organisms

A

phylogenic tree

33
Q

a group of organisms that include an ancestor and all its descendants

A

clads
