classification organism

QuestionAnswer
What is the science of naming and classifying organisms Taxonomy
Carl Linnaeus created a two-word system for naming organisms called? Binomial nomenclature
What is a taxonomic category containing similar species? Genus
The second word in a scientific name identifies one particular kind of organism within the genus called? Species
The basic biological unit in the Linnaean system of classification? Species
Similar genera are grouped into? Family
Similar families are combined int? Order
Order with common properties are united in? Class
Class with similiar characteristic are assigned to? Phylum
Similar Phyla are collected into? Kindgom
Similar Kingdom are grouped into? Domains
What are the three domains? Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya
Archaea and Bacteria are in what kingdom? Prokaryotes
What kingdom is Eukarya in? Eukaryotes
Biological species was definied by who?? Ernst Mayr
A group of natural popluations that are interbreeding or that could interbreed and that are reproductively isolated from other groups? Biological species
Sometimes individuals of different species interbreed and produce offspring? Hybrid
Eveolutionary History? Phylogeny
Similarities evolve in organisms not closely related to one another, often because the organisms live in similar habitats. Example both fly but structure of wings differs? Convergent evolution
Similarieties that arise through convergent evolution are? Analogous characters
A method of analysis that reconstructs phylogenies by inferring relationships based on shared characters? Cladistics
Can be used to hypothesize sequence in which different groups of organisms evolve? Cladistics
With respect to two different groups a character is defined as? Example considereing the relationshipi between bird and mammal...the backbone is ? Ancestral Charcter
Evolved in an ancestro of one goup but not the other? derived character
A biologist using cladistics constructs a branching diagram ? Cladogram
Evolutionary relationship amoung groups of organisms is shown in what diagram? Cladogram
Taxonomist give varying degrees of importance to characters and thus produce a subjective analysis of evolutionary relationships? Evolutionary systematics
In evolutionary systematics the type of analysis, evolutionary relationships are displayed in branching diagram? Phylogenetic tree
Question 1? a Linneaus
Questions2 C. (italicized) Homo sapiens
Question 3? C. Classification includes more categories than scientific name
Question 6? D. ALl of the above
Question 7? Wing
Question 8?

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
