life characteristics and taxonomy Flashcards
Characteristics of a living animal CA-DEER-GRR
cell adaptive structure DNA evolve energy respond grow reproduce respiration (metabolize)
Characteristics that viruses have even though non-living
reproduce the ability to mutate RNA - similar to DNA - evolve adapt
How adapt DNA and evolve are related
for things to evolve, they need to change DNA structures. Evolve and adapt are both similar - evolve is a long term change and adaptation is a short term change.
How growth, energy, and respiration is related
food is taken in and converted to energy - process of respiration - energy then helps living things grow.
Species
animals who reproduce fertile offspring
largest group of organisms in which two can reproduce - same name - then make fertile offspring - making more species.
How does reproduction relate to species
capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding
Two groups that make Binomial Nomenclature
Genus Species
Felis demesticus - species name
domesticus
Do all organisms in class mammalia belong to order carnivora
no, class is above order
What did Aristotle base his classifications on
plants .v animals
habitats and stems
(land dwelling, water, air)
What features did Linnaeus’ classification system have
structural similarities
binomial nomenclature
kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
What evidence can be used for evolutionary relatedness in phylogenic tree
DNA comparisons
morphology (physical traits)
behavioral ecological traits
Which scientist would have used phylogenic trees
Lineous
classifies animals by genetics and structural makeup
Which scientist would have used dichotomous keys
Aristotle
based classifications off of how they looked
Which scientist would have used taxonomy
Lineous
Classifications based on relations to other animals
