| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The blastula of this group of animals does not form an invagination; thus they have no true digestive systems. | Acoelomates |
| A category of vascular, seeded plants; commonly known as flowering plants. Further divided into monocots and dicots. | Angiosperms |
| A major group of animals; includes segmented worms. | Annelids |
| A major group of animals; includes insects. | Arthropods |
| Once of Georges Cuvier’s four embranchements; included segmented organisms such as insects. | articulates |
| Group of terrestrial mammals that diverged into dolphins, porpoises and whales; modern species include sheep, goats and giraffes | Artiodactyls |
| Single-celled prokaryotic ancestor of all life | bacteria |
| The closest living relative of humans. | Chimpanzee |
| A major group of animals; includes humans. | chordates (or phylum Chordata) |
| A modern species of lobe-finned fish. | Coelacanth |
| The blastula of this group of animals forms an invagination which eventually develops into the digestive tract. | Coelomates |
| The genome of this plant has tripled in length over the past 5 to 10 million years. | cotton |
| Photosynthesizing bacteria. | Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae |
| A group of organisms in which the blastopore opening develops into the anus. | Deuterostomes |
| A group of hyperthermophilic (heat-loving) archaebacteria; some biologists consider them a separate kingdom. | Eocytes |
| Multicellular eukaryotes that decompose dead matter. | Fungi |
| A category of vascular seeded plants; includes pines. | Gymnosperms |
| Salt-loving Archaebacteria | Halophiles |
| First species of the genus Homo. | Homo habilis (handy/skillful man) |
| Fish-like species that coexisted with dinosaurs. | Ichthyosaurs |
| A type of mammal that nurtures its young in a pouch; once thrived in South America but was replaced by North American placental mammals; still thrive in Australia. | Marsupials |
| Methane-producing Archaebacteria. | methanogens |
| A major group of animals; includes snails; one of Georges Cuvier’s four embranchements. | Mollusks |
| A group of large reptiles including herbivores such as the stegosaurus and triceratops. | Ornithicians |
| In this group of animals, the blastopore opening develops into a mouth. | Protostomes |
| Single-celled animal-like eukaryote in the kingdom Protista | Protozoan |
| One of Georges Cuvier’s four embranchements; includes starfish. | radiates |
| Ostrich-like South American bird; Darwin noticed regional variation amongst them. | rhea |
| W. F. Weldon investigated natural selection in this species. | Sea crab |
| For these fish, the intensity of the male’s red stripe is correlated with his bacteria load. | Stickleback |
| Four-limbed organism | Tetrapod |
| Heat-loving Archaebacteria | Thermophiles |
| Bipedal predatory dinosaurs; eventually evolved into bird | Theropods |
| A Galapagos bird that lives and breeds in cypress trees. | Water-rail |
| The first major crop to undergo artificial selection. | Wheat |
