the science of classifying organisms taxonomy
a grouping within a classification scheme taxon
heterotrophic; multicellular; lack cell walls but have true tissues and organs Animalia
Constructing an evolutionary history is an example of phylogeny
multicellular, autotrophic; cell walls made of cellulose and true tissues and organs plantae
plantlike or fungus like, mostly autotrophic with motile gametes and cell walls made of cellulose chromista
unicellular or colonial; hetero- or autotrophic; includes many that are decomposers or cause disease bacteria
unicellular or colonial; mostly heterotrophic; motile as adults and have a pellicle protozoa
created the first taxonomy system in the fourth century BC – divided living things into plants and animals Aristotle
a taxonomic division within a genus that consists of a single type of organism species
heterotrophic; cell walls made of chitin; some unicellular but have multicellular reproductive stage; can form colonies fungi
a two-part name, consisting of a genus name and species epithet, that is uniqueto a particular species scientific name
unicellular or colonial; hetero- or autotrophic; known for living in harsh conditions archaea
the study of evolutionary relationships among living things through time systematics
the evolutionary history of a species or population phylogeny
the reclassifying of organisms according to their evolutionary history cladistics
a diagram that shows the supposed evolutionary relationships between groups of organisms phylogenic tree
branches of a phylogenetic tree that include all the descendants of an evolutionary ancestor clades
a trait that arises within a clade and is shared by all future members of that clade derived trait
the process of two similar species becoming increasingly different over time divergence
the process of two different species independently evolving the same derived trait convergence
looking at life on the basis of created kinds baraminology
shows the special creation of each kind and the species that arise from each kind orchard of life
Divergence occurs only within a kind
Convergence is evidence of design
