classfication

Question 1

What is the bionomial system?

Answer 1

= first name is GENUS
= second part is species
= same genus shows close relationship

Question 2

Why do different species look similar?

Answer 2

= live in a similar environment
= have a similar selection pressures
= similar alleles will have the selectibe advantage
= produces similar/same proteins and therefore similar characteristics

Question 3

Why What is a heirarchy?

Answer 3

= smaler groups arranged in larger groups
= there is no overlaop

Question 4

What us each group called?

Answer 4

=Taxa

Question 5

Why do we need a system to organise species?

Answer 5

= understand relationships between organisms and keep track of changes
= the system needs to be universal

Question 6

What are ways of classification?

Answer 6

= dna sequence
= rna sequence
= amino acid sequence
= immunbiological- comparing in self-antobody shape

Question 7

What is the phylogenetic classificxation system?

Answer 7

= arranges species into groups according to their evolutionary origins and relationships
= tells us whos related to eho and how closely related they are
= all organisms have evolved shared common ancestors relatives this is a phyloggentic tree

Question 8

How is this orderered?

Answer 8

= domain
= kingdom
= phylum
= class
= order
= family
= genus
= species
