| Question | Answer |
| Classification | Supports Darwin |
| Greeks | Plants and animals, no longer used |
| Linneaus | Grouped by form and structure, each level shares characteristics |
| Levels (8) | Describe, Species is the most basic unit |
| Dogs and wolves | can interbreed and produce fertile offspring, different species, all other levels are the same |
| Domains (3) | all living things grouped into one of three |
| Scientific Name | Unique, 2 Latin words |
| Fertile hybrids | Dogs and wolves |
| Hybrid | result of breeding between 2 species |
| Analogous traits | not in herited from common ancestor, convergent evolution (similar environment), same function but not form |
| Examples | wings of bats and birds |
| Homologous Structures | same form, different function |
| Phylogeny | evolutionary history of an organism |
| Cladistics | determines sequence of evolution, reconstructs phylogenies |
| Cladogram | models that show evolutionary history of a species, |
| Out group | group that does not share a characteristic in a cladogram |
| Binomial Nomenclature | two |
| Communication | does not depend on language |
| Taxonomy | science of naming and classifying organisms |
| Kingdoms | 6, plant, animal, fungi, protists, archaebacteria, eubacteria |
| Animals | heterotrophy, multicellular, no cell walls |
| Species | look alike and produce fertile offspring |
| Biological | reproductive isolation, |
| Asexual | difficult to apply biological definition |
| Convergent Evolution | organisms adapt similarly to the same environment |
| Derived Characteristics | found in closely related species |
