Question 1

What is the order of classification?

Answer 1

Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

Question 2

Characteristics of archaea

Answer 2

Prokaryotic, single celled, protiens associated with DNA, cell walls not made of peptidoglycan, live in extreme environments

Question 3

Characteristics of eubacteria

Answer 3

Prokaryotic, single celled, naked DNA, cell walls made out of peptidoglycan, bacteria

Question 4

Characteristics of eukarya

Answer 4

Eukaryotic, membrane bound organelles, DNA associated with histone protiens, single celled and multicellular, includes protists and fungi

Question 5

Characteristics of Phylum Bryophyta

Answer 5

Non vascular, small, lack leaves and stems, no xylem or phloem tissue, reproduce using spores

Question 6

Characteristics of Phylum Filicophyta

Answer 6

Pinnate leaves, reproduce using spores, vascular (have xylem and phloem)

Question 7

Characteristics of Phylum Coniferophyta (gymnosperms)

Answer 7

Seeds are in cones (naked), vascular (have xylem and phloem)

Question 8

Characteristics of Phylum Angiospermophyta (angiosperms)

Answer 8

Flowering plants, vascular (have xylem and phloem), reproduce using seeds

Question 9

Allopatric specialization

Answer 9

Two populations evolve separately and may eventually not be able to interbreed due to geographic isolation/separation

Question 10

Speciation

Answer 10

Formation of new species

Question 11

Sympatric speciation

Answer 11

Temporal and behavioral isolation, dicergence of species without physical barrier

2n:onion, 3n:keeled garlic, 4n:Chinese chives, 5n:filed garlic, 8n:blue chives

Question 13

Clade

Answer 13

A group of organisms that have evolved from a common ancestor

Question 14

Derived characteristics

Answer 14

Traits which tie clades together
