11
Q

Result of territorialization

A

increased o2 in atmosphere
nutrients were scavenged from rocks
soils were built up by plants
energy and o2 provided by plants supported animal evolution

Q

domain

A

highest level of taxonomy

20
Q

3 domains

A

bacteria- pro
Archaea- pro
eukaryotes- eykaryotes (plants)

21
Q

Domain - species

A

Domain kingdom phylum class order family genus species

22
Q

Kingdom (4)

A

animalia
plantae
fungi
protista (diatoms)

23
Q

Not all things that do photosynthesis are plants

A

not all plants do photosynthesis

24
Q

Plants two groups (in phylum)

A

vascular and non-vascular plants

25
gynosperms
naked seeds x produce flowers
26
Angiosperms
make flowers seeds develop within a fruit only one phylum : magnoliophyta
27
2 classes withing magnoliophyte phylum
liliopsida (monocots) Magnoliopsida (dicots)
28
Species
closely related group that shre similar characterists and can interbreed and produce viable offspring
29
Binomial nomenclature
2 names used to identify a species
30
Genus + _____ = species name
Specific epithet
31
specific epithet
the second part of the species name
32
Subspecies
Populationso f plants that are the same species but are permanently geographically isolated so not interbreeding
33
domestication
wild plants evolve into a crop plant through artifical selection (humans select for certain traits)
34
is genetically altered the same as genetic engineering
no, (old corn vs new corn
35
qualities of a Variety of a plant
Has unique and stable chararcteistics plant a seed from variety, plant that grows will look and act like parent plant the plants look / act differently than other plants within a species
36
variety name comes before or after species name
after
37
hybrid
2 parents from diff species reproduce togteher and produce an offspring
38
intraspecific hybrid
cross between 2 parents that are from the same species, but they are 2 different varieties
39
Why do breeders make plants genetically uniform
harvest at same time, chemically treat at the same time, mamagement easierq
40
intraspecific hybrid
(F1 Cross) crossing 2 genetically unform parents to create intraspecific hybrid
41
Genetic Engineering
manipulation of an organisms genes by introducing eliminating or rearranging specific genes using th emethods of modern molecular biology
42
Genetic Modification
Genetic engineering or natrually selecting
43
Cultivar
cultivated variety produced by human intervention and maintained through human management
44
Are cultivars bred for specific characteristics
yes
45
What happens if a seed is planted from a cultivarq
it wont resemble its parents
46
How can a cultivar be created
hybrid genetic engineering rarely ever captured from wild and maintained
47
Carl Linnaeus
taxonomy guy linnaean classification
