Clades etc. Flashcards
Systematics
description, identification, nomenclature, and classification plus phyologeny or bringing it all together
phylogeny
primary goal of styematics
genetic drift
genetic modification is random
natural selection
genetic change is directed and nonrandom1
taxonomy (DINC)
4 components Description, indentification, nomenclature, and clissification
two ways of ariving at a clasification
phenetic and phylogenetic
phenetic
based on overall simliaratie
apomorphy
a derived condition
synapomorphy
a dervied condition that unites two or more lineages
autoapomorphy
occurs only within a single lineage
phylogram
cladogram that has an absolute time scale
plant
cellulose in cell wall 2. cholorophyll b 3. thylakoids stacked in grana 4. true starch storage compound
systematics
study of biodiveristy
3 parts of systematics from notes
- species delimitation 2. relationships 3. nomenclature
walter Judd quote
“systematics is the science behind the discovery, description and interpretation of biological diversity as well as the synsthesis of information on diversity in the form of phylogenic (evolutionary relationships) and predictive classification systems”
G.G. Simpson quote -
Systematics is the scientific study of the kinds and diversity of organsims and of the (evolutionary, geneological) relationships among them.
metapopulation
largest scale group with geneflow, separatel evolving, segment of a lineage,
Aristolilean classification
naturally exclusive and nested
Ernst Mayer
Biological species concept
2 most famous concepts
biological species concept, phylogentic species concept
endosymbiosis
one being engulf the other in a symbiotic relationship
homology
similarity resulting from common ancestry
homoplasy
resulting from convergent evolution
OTU
operational taxonomic unit
plesiomorphic
ancestral , primitive
paraphyletic
not all the descendents
reticulation
hybridization
ontogeny
developmental sequence under the control of a number of genes
stipules
outgrowth on either side of the base of the leaf stem
vicariance
geographical seperation of species
heterochrony
developmental change in the timing of events
allopatric driver
isolatio drom vicariance
sympatric
evolution without vicariance
cladograms, chronograms and phylograms
topology and clade groups, with time, with amount of proportional evolution
fully resovled tree
binary only
flower
reporductive organ of angiosperms
sexual parts of a flower
androecium, and gynoecium
androecium
collection of male reproductive structure
stamen
individual male reproductive structure
stamen’s may possess
filament, anther
filament
stalk on which the anther is found, not presnet in a “laminar stamen” case
