| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
