Unit 10 test Bio Flashcards
Binomial nomenclature
Linnaeus’s system of naming organism, which gives a scientific two-word Latin name to species - the first
pat is genus, and the second name is soecie
Genus
taxonomic group of closely related species with common ancestor
Mammalia
any member of the group of vertebrate animals in which the young are nourished with milk from special mammary glands of the mother
Derived character
a trait that arose in the most recent common ancestor of a particular lineage and was passed along to its descendants
Cladogram
diagram with branches that represents the hypothesized phylogeny or evolution of a specie or group
Common Ancestry
the ancestor of two or more species in the later period
Kingdom of eukaryotes
The four eukaryotic kingdoms are animalia, plantae, fungi, and protista
Kingdom of fungi
Kingdom Fungi is limited to eukaryotes that form chitinous, resistant propagules and chitinous cell walls and that lack undulipodia at all stages of their life cycle
Archaebacteria
microorganisms that are similar to bacteria in size and simplicity of structure but radically different in molecular organization
Traditional classification
divided the natural world into 3 kingdoms and used five ranks: class, order, genus, species, and variety
What are the two kingdoms that life was divided into during Linnaeus’ time?
Animals and plants
The two domains composed of only unicellular organisms
he Archaea and Bacteria domain
Why was the one name system not used
One species had many names
Traditional classification took into account
Similarities and differences
Node on the Cladogram
Each node is when a species splits from the ancestor
