A

18
Q

What is genetic engineering

A

The manipulation of genes within an organism

19
Q

All organism are classified into what

A

One of three domains

20
Q

Each domain of organisms is divided into several what?

21
Q

What is the smallest and most specific classification level

22
Q

Number the eight classification levels in order from largest and most general to smallest and most specific. (Use thingy)

A
Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
23
Q

Why do people classify organisms

A

To understand, make order, see relationships

24
Q

Hood you know the genus name of something

A

If it is capitalised and written first

25
How do you know the species name of something
It is lower case and written second
26
What is a defensive behaviour
A behavior that an animal uses to protect its mate,food,territory,and itself
27
What is a innate behavior
A behavior that is present at birth
28
What is courtship
A behavior an animal uses to attract a mate
29
What is a learned behavior
A behavior that is not present at birth but has been taught or has been acquired from some experience
30
What is estivation
A period of reduced activity during hot weather | Hibernation in the summer
31
What is an embryo
The very early stage of development of an organism produced by sexual reproduction
32
What are the three domains
Eukarya Archaea Bacteria
33
What are the four kingdoms is eukarya
Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia
34
What are the three body plans
Radial symmetry- starfish Bilateral symmetry-ant Asymmetry-no symmetry like a sponge
35
What are the characteristics of a Porifera
It has no gut,tissues, or neutrons It can regenerate is a part is broken off It must live in the water It has an asymmetrical body plan
36
What are the characteristics of a cnidarian
It has a gut and neurons It has stinging cells It has a polyp or medusa shape Most have radial symmetry, but some are asymmetrical
37
What are names of some cnidarians that have a polyp shape
Hydrozoans Coral Sea anemone
38
What are the names of some cnidarian ps with the medusa shape
Jellyfish
39
What are characteristics of Platyhelminthes
It has a bilateral body shape It has a gut and coelom It is a flatworm It has a head
40
Compare and contrast planarians vs flukes vs tapeworms
Planarians-eyespots and sensory lobes, they are predators, they live in water of damp places Flukes-mouth and sucker to attach to host, they are parasites Tapeworms-mouth, they are parasites They are all flatworms with a bilateral body plan and heads with a very simple brain
41
Contrast Nematoda vs Platyhelminthes
Nematoda are roundworms, they have round smooth bodies, they are either decomposers or parasite Platyhelminthes are flatworms, they have flat bodies, they are either predators or parasites
42
Say if the following things are Porifera, Nematoda, Platyhelminthes, or cnidarian:
``` Coral- Cnidarian Jellyfish- cnidarian Planarian- Platyhelminthes Roundworm-Nematoda Fluke-Platyhelminthes Sponge-Porifera Tapeworm-platyhelminthes Sea anemone-cnidarian ```
