Lecture 17 - Species Flashcards
organisms that cannot only mate with each other, but produce fertile offspring
species
population, or group of populations, whose members can interbreed and produce fertile offspring
species
True/False: every species is reproductively isolated from every other species
True
in order for species to be reproductively isolated, they must be separated by barriers which prevent gene flow
reproduction barriers
what’s another name for reproduction barriers
isolated mechanisms
how we build the organism classification based upon their evolution
phylogenetics
modern biochemical and genetic analysis reveal relatedness among diverse organisms
phylogenetics
give each species a scientific name/binomial name
taxonomy
what does taxonomy fall under
classification system
organisms are classified based upon their _____ and _____ _____
genetic and molecular relationship
scientific name include _____ and _____
genus and species
True/False: study of biochemistry and genetics show many organisms use similar chemicals and genes
True
three domain classifications
bacteric
archaea
eukarya
what domain is very diverse and can go through photosynthesis
bacteria
what domain is extremophiles: live in extreme environmenets
archaea
what domain has some methane producing organisms
archaea
what domain lives in environments humans are used to
bacteria
name a difference between domain bacteria and archaea
their cell walls are molecularly different
True/False: archaea are eukaryotes
FALSE! They are prokaryotes
Produce methane from hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide
Methanogens
what domain do methanogens fall under
archaea
require high salt concentration
Halophiles
what domain do halophiles fall under
archaea
extremely hot and acidic environments
Thermoacidophiles
what domain do Thermoacidophiles fall under
archaea
Extremely diverse collection of organisms
kingdom protista
are organisms in kingdom protista prokaryotes or eukaryotes
eukaryotes
Defined by exclusion – do not belong to any other kingdom
kingdom protista
general term for any photosynthetic protist living in water
Algae
algae falls under what
photosynthetic protista
