Biology 106 quiz 1
| term | definition |
|---|---|
| what is taxonomy | naming/classifying life forms |
| what was linnaeus known for | two-point binomial system to name organisms: genus (first) and species (last) |
| who published the systema naturae | linnaeus |
| what is the systema naturae | responsible for naming large number of species and developed the universal system for naming organisms |
| grouping of similar species implied ___ evolutionary relationship | no |
| in the binomial system each species is ___ | unique |
| how are the species grouped in the systema naturae | grouped by similarity into categories |
| what is the order of the species | domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species |
| species are grouped into a ___ | genus (genera plural of genus) |
| genera are grouped into ___ | families |
| broadly organisms are ___ | taxa |
| linnaeus wasnt looking at origin apart from ___ | creator god |
| does grouping species imply evolutionary relationship? | no |
| who used linnaeus's work and what did he use it for? | charles darwin wanted to look at historical foundation |
| who believed that the world was perfect and that humans could not sense this perfection? | plato and aristotle |
| what is the scala naturae? | life forms arranged based on complexity |
| what was the limitation of scala naturae? | evolutional was not possible |
| what did georges cuvier note about each stratum? | is was characterized by a unique fossil species |
| what did the deeper stratum contain? | flora and fauna more dissimilar to modern life forms |
| what did curvier discover? | catastrophism |
| what is catastrophism? | when a local species is destroyed by a catastrophic event and their remains are fossilized that provide a snapshot of species |
| who compared living species with fossils found chronological series of older to younger fossils | jan baptiste lamarck |
| what observation did lamarck use to publish his first theory of evolution | invertebrates (no spine) |
| what did lamarck believe about the scala naturae | they have a desire to become more complex. organisms could change position on the ladder of life as they move towards perfection |
| what supported lamarcks theory about the scala naturae | 1. use and disuse 2. inheritance of acquired characteristics |
| james hutton was the ____ | father of geology |
| who discovered gradualism | hutton |
| what is gradualism | variations in landforms that are explained by gradual change: slow and continuous process |
| who discovered uniformitarianism | charles lyell |
| what is uniformitarianism | geological process that havent changed through history ( uniform through time) |
| what is geological gradualism | dramatic changes in earths geological features due to a cumulative product of slow but continuous processes |
| whos research was an influence on charles darwin to envision evolution as a biological uniformitarianism | hutton and lyell |
| how do predator-prey interactions act | reciprocal selective pressures |
| what is mixed with fitness in determining which individuals survive to reproduce | luck |
| what are key components that drive the process of natural selection | 1. inheritance 2. competition 3. variation |
| what is co-evolution | when interacting species serve as selective pressures on each other |
| what does reproduction allow a population to do | recover from predators removing individuals by creating a new generation |
| Carlus Linnaeus was the ___ | father of taxonomy |
