differentiate, to find ancestors, to find relatives, to easily classify new species
phylogeny
compare through evolutionary history
morphology
structure of animals
biology
if they can reproduce together
Taxonomy
the action of classifying and naming
who developed binomial nomenclature

- makes yogurt
- eukaryote
domain archaea is
- prokaryotic
- lives in harsh environments
domain eukaryote is
- eukaryote
- animals, plants, fungi, protists
kingdom different categories

main charcteristics of kingdom (what are we looking for)
of cells
pro or eu
reproduction
auto or hetero (nutrition)
cell wall
What are viruses
DNA/RNA and a protein coat (capsid) that invades a host and depends on it
what do viruses lack
cytoplasm, organelles, and cell membranes
what re viruses size
30nm to 300nm
shapes of viruses
polyhedral, helical, enveloped, complex
polyhedral virus example
polio
helical virus examples
rabies
enveloped virus examples
