Taxonomy
How classification works
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How many domains are used in taxonomy at this time | 3 |
| name the 3 domains | Bacteria,Archaea, Eukarya |
| Name the kingdoms in the Eukarya domain | Plant, Animal, Protist, Fungi |
| There was a kingdom called Monera... it is since been divided into two kingdoms ( name them)... Why this this occur? | Bacteria and Archaea... This kingdom consisted of prokaryotic organisms and they decided that these prokaryotes were very different from each other |
| Review: What is a Eukaryote that would be in the domain Eukarya ( what does eukaryote mean) | these organisms have eukaryotic cells... cells with a membrane bound nucleus ( distinct nucleus) and membrane bound organelles |
| What domain or domains have prokaryotic cells... review.... what is a prokaryotic cell | Bacteria and Archaea... prokaryotes are all unicellular and do not have membrane bound nucleus or membrane bound organelles |
| How many kingdoms are in the Domain Bacteria ( name any of the appropriate kingdoms) | only 1.... it is called Bacteria ( sometimes called Eubacteria for true bacteria)... |
| How many kingdoms are in the Domain Archaea ( name any of the appropriate kingdoms) | only 1... it is called Archaea ( they were called Archaeabacteria but the bacteria part is normally dropped..) they are a type of bacteria but very different from the organisms in the domain bacteria |
| List the taxonomic categories ( the taxa) from largest to smallest group ( put 9 taxa in order) | Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species, Variety... Dear King Peter came over for good soup vigorously |
| List the classification of Human from domain to species | D= Eukarya, K= animal, P= Chordate C= mammal O= primate, F= Hominidae G= Homo S= sapien |
| What is the scientific name for a human and describe the proper way it should be written | Homo sapien should be written in italics, or if handwritten should be underlined... first word capital, second word lower case |
| What are the classes of chordates ( there are 7) | jawless fish, cartilage fish, bony fish, amphibian, reptile, bird, mammal |
| What two taxa make up the scientific name of an organism? | the genus and the species.... the variety can be used as a third name |
| What is another name for a scientific name since it has two words | it is called binomial nomenclature ... scientific name is probably more common.. the system of naming an organism is called binomial nomenclature |
| What name is given to the science of classifying and naming organisms | Taxonomy |
| Who is known as the father of Taxonomy | Linnaeus ( Carolus Linnaeus... a swedish naturalist or botanist from the 1700's |
| What did Linnaeus use as a basis for his system of taxonomy (page 485 can help if you don't know) | he used morphology ( the physical structures of the organism) and behaviors |
| What has been added to the classification system since the 1800's because of new knowledge | the evolutionary history of organisms |
| What describes a group of species that are closely related and share a common ancestor | a genus |
| Which of these organisms are more closely related Ursus americanus..... Melursus ursinus or Ursus thibetanus | Ursus americanus and Ursus thibetanus... they are in the same genus... this is the American black bear and the Asiatic black bear |
| Similar , related genera ( genuses) are called | a family ( an example of this is the Ursidae family... it is the bear family and contains black bears, brown bears, polar bears, giant pandas, sunbears, etc..) |
| A class is made of related ____ ( give an example of this using the human) | orders... humans are in the class mammal and within this class are the primates ( humans are primates) and other orders are rodents, carnivora ( wolves, bears, seals, coyotes, skunks...many more), and Cetacea ( whales, dolphins, porpoises) |
| What is another name for a variety that is the taxa under species | subspecies. also called breeds and races |
| Our current classification system has _ domains and _ kingdoms | 3 domains and 6 kingdoms |
| Which general taxonomic category has the most specific characteristics ( using domain through species) | species |
| Which groups would include more species .... an order or a family | an order |
| Which taxon includes only organisms that can successfully interbreed ... | species |
| If two organisms are in the same class , what other taxonomic groups do the organisms have in common | domain, kingdom, and phylum |
