Q

look very similar but may differ in their palatability to avian predators (hindi daw masarap for other species)

18
Q

organisms form different evolutionary lineages evolve similar adaptations to similar environmental conditions

A

Convergent Evolution

19
Q

unrelated species resemble one another in appearance and function but has no common ancestry

A

Convergent Evolution

20
Q

development and accumulation of differences between groups which can lead to the formation of new species

A

Divergent Evolution

21
Q

variant form of each species become adapted to specific conditions and eventually occupy isolated environments

A

Divergent Evolution

22
Q

gene flow among distinct populations is blocked, allowing differentiated fixation of characteristics

A

Divergent Evolution

APPROACHES IN CLASSIFICATION
Phenetic | Phylogenetic
32
morphological attributes, numerical taxonomy; based on phenotypic similarity
Phenetic
33
characters under Phenetic classification
Ecological Genetic Physiological & Metabolic Morphological
34
evolutionary relationships; cladistics
Phylogenetic
35
process of assigning a pre-existing taxon to an individual organism
Identification
36
STEPS OF IDENTIFICATION
1. Comparison with a type specimen 2. Consultation with an expert or authority 3. Use of taxonomic keys 4. Search the taxonomic literature
37
preserved specimen designated as a permanent reference for a new species, genus, or other taxon
Type Specimen
38
Similarities and differences between organisms
Taxonomy
