Phylogeny

Question 1

Taxonomy

Answer 1

field of biology that classifies organisms

Question 2

3 Domains of Life

Answer 2

Eubacteria: prokaryotes- bacteria like pathogens
Archaebacteria: prokaryotes in extreme environments
Eukarya: eukaryotes

Question 3

Domains are further subdivided into

Answer 3

Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
-binomial nomenclature: “Genus species”

Question 4

Phylogeny

Answer 4

evolutionary history of a species
-3.5 BYA- 1st prokaryote
2.1 BYA- 1st eukaryote through Endosymbiosis (1 prokaryote in another and they thrived)

Question 5

Endosymbiotic Theory

Answer 5

suggests that over time, coevolution of the 2 prokaryotes happened + led to speciation of the first eukaryotes
-believed that all organisms share a common ancestor

Question 6

Phylogenetic Trees

Answer 6

diagram used to predict evolutionary relationships
-Hypothesis based on: Shared morphology, genes, and behaviors

Question 7

Maximum Parsinomy

Answer 7

use the simplest explanation for creating the tree
