Evolution chapter 1

  1. Genetic diversity
    • - The amount of variation in inherited traits between individuals of the same species. 
    • - ( how different these species will look in in the same large category of species
  2. Taxonomy
    • - This is the field that deals with classifying the estimated 10 million species here on earth. 
    • - Taxonomists have created artificial classification systems main system to deal with diversity with the goals of  “ Identifying organism s”, Provide a basis for natural groupings of organisms
  3. Who created the Binomial nomenclatur?
    • - It was created by Carl Linnaeus. 
    • - This is a two part naming system that is assigned to an organism using Latin words. 
    • - system based on the organisms physical and structural features. ( bone) Believing that the more features organisms have in common the closer their relationship. 
    • -
  4. What do these scientific names include.
    • - They include the genus and species name of the organism. ( This is because the genus and species are the final classifications of the total 7 making them the most specific) 
    • -
  5. How to write organisms names using the Binomial momenclature ?
    • - The Genus name begins with a capital. 
    • - The species name begins with a lower case letter. 
    • - when the name is typed it is in italics.
    • - Each word is underlined by itself separately. 
    • - The genus can be written alone but the species can never be used alone. 
    • - when two organisms share the same genus they related and if they don’t they are not closely related. 
    • -
  6. Taxation facts
    • - this is the process and science of naming living organisms.
    • - Thus, in this industry scientific names are sometimes changed when  the understanding and relationship changes. 
    • - It is possible for various species to be known by multiple scientific names.
  7. What are the seven main levels of taxation in order ?
    • - Kingdom
    • - Phylum
    • - Class 
    • - order 
    • - family
    • - Genus 
    • - Species
    •  - The more down u keep moving the more specific you get
  8. What are the 6 kingdoms ?
    • - Fungi
    • -Plantae 
    • - Animalia 
    • - Protista
    • - Eubacteria 
    • - Archaebacteria
  9. 1 kingdom = Eubacteria
    • - simple organism that do not have a nuclei ( prokaryotic) 
    • - they are heterotrophs or autotrophs
    • - They are able to reproduce asexually ( Classic bacteria)
    • - often have a cell wall 
    • eg bacteria , Cyanobacteria
  10. Archaebacteria
    • - These are prokaryotic 
    • - Heterotrophs 
    • - Live in salt lakes, hot springs, animal guts 
    • - contains cells walls 
    • - Thye are old bacteria that live in very extreme weather conditions. 
    • - eg. Mathogens, extreme thermophiles., extreme halophiles
  11. Protista
    • - most are single called but some are multicellular 
    • - Eukaryotes
    • - both autotrophs and heterotrophs and reproduce sexually and asexually 
    • - live in aquatic or moist environment 
    • eg absent algae, Protozoa
  12. Fungi
    • - most are multicellular 
    • - all are heterotrophs 
    • - reproduce sexually or asexually 
    • - most are terrestrial and contain cells walls 
    • eg. Mushrooms, yeast, bread moulds
  13. Planate
    • - all are multicellular
    • - all are autotrophs 
    • - reproduce sexually and asexual 
    • - most are terrestrial and contain a cell wall
    • - mosses ferns, flowering plants
  14. What is a phylogeny?
    • - This is the history of the evolution of organisms. 
    • - It is showcased as a phylogenetic tree
  15. Dichotomous key
    • - They use when classifying organisms 
    • - this key gives instructions in pairs of statements.
    • -
  16. Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic
    • Pro 
    • - it has no nucleus and is just the class kcal bacteria and follows into the kingdoms known as Archaea or bacteria in general 

    • Eu 
    • - They have a nucleus 
    • Kingdoms that fall into this category are Fungi , Animals, Protists, Plants
