taxonomy and classification Flashcards
classification order
kingdom, phylum, coats, order, family, genus, species
what are the 5 categories that the kingdom level is divided into
animalia, plantae, fungi, prokaryote, protist
what are the four accurate ways in which we can discover the relatedness of different animals
- genetics
- biochemical
- immunological
- amino acid comparisons
the ways of discovering relatedness that uses dna sequencing and hybridisation to work out the animals evolutionary lineage
genetics
the way of discovering relatedness that looks at substances produced in animals and the physiological processes occurring with them
biochemistry
the way of discovering relatedness that looks at how antibodies bind to specific antigens and proteins in the body as related species will have more recognition
immunological comparisons
the way of discovering relatedness that looks at the amino acids produced by a species as well as the nucleotide sequences they use to make them
amino acid comparisons
