| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The binomial system of classification was developed by | Linnaeus |
| It is estimated that about ____ million different organisms exist in the world | 10 |
| What is the sequences shows the correct hierarchy of classification, going from the most inclusive to the least inclusive? | kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species |
| The biological species concept is widely employed for defining species in which of the following kingdoms? | animal |
| The evolutionary history of a species and its relationship to other species is called | phylogeny |
| At the present time, scientists have named approximately ____ species | 1,500,000 |
| Which Kingdom inhabits some of the most extreme environments on earth? | Archaea |
| A phylogenetic tree is a branching diagram that represents the phylogeny of a group of organisms. A) True B) False | False |
| The binomial system of classification names an organism by using a list of adjectives that describe the organism. A) True B) False | False |
| According to Ray's species definition horses and donkeys are | not members of the same species because their offspring are sterile |
| Outcrossing (sexual reproduction between different individuals) is most common in kingdom | Animalia |
| ___________ has/have provided evidence that the archaea are more closely related to the eukaryotes than to the bacteria. | RNA sequencing |
| Arranging organisms into a multilevel system is called | classification |
| In the name Escherichia coli, coli is the __________ name. | specific epithet |
| The difficulty with polynomial names was that they | were long and confusing |
| Organisms that are members of the same class are also members of the same | phylum |
| While examining water samples that you collected at a local pond, you observe a unicellular organism that has a nucleus and organelles. That organism is a member of the kingdom | Protista |
| One limitation of the biological species concept is that it | does not apply to asexually reproducing organisms |
| While conducting research in the rain forest you collect a number of beetles. Several of them have similar morphologies but different coloring. How could you determine if they are members of the same species? | by determining if they produce viable, fertile offspring |
| Living organisms are grouped into three categories called kingdoms. A) True B) False | False |
| The wolf, domestic dog, and red fox are all in the same family, Canidae. The scientific name for the wolf is Canis lupus, the domestic dog is Canis familiaris and the red fox is Vulpes vulpes. This means that | the red fox is in the same family, but different genus than dogs and wolves |
| The evolutionary relationship of an organism and its relationship to other species are its | phylogeny |
| All classification systems for organisms are based on | physical and chemical characteristics |
| The six kingdoms of organisms can be organized into three domains based on | cell and DNA structure |
| All of the extremophiles belong to the domain of | Archaea |
| Bacteria are also known as prokaryotic cells because | they do not have internal membrane system. |
| Organisms in the domain Bacteria are different than organisms in the Archaea domain because | they have cell walls that are made of different materials |
| It is theorized that the ancestral organism for the plants, animals, and fungi originated in the kingdom | Protista |
| One difference between the kingdom Protista and the other three kingdoms in the domain Eukarya is that the other kingdoms are | multicellular |
| It is thought that two important organelles of eukaryotic cells came from | ingestion of endosymbiotic bacteria |
