BI 411 Ch. 9 & 10
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is taxonomy? | Taxonomy is the study of principles of scientific classification; systematic ordering and naming of organisms. |
| What is phylogeny? | Phylogeny is the origin and diversification of any taxon, or the history of its origin and diversification, usually presented in the form of a dendrogram. |
| What is histology? | The study of tissues. |
| How would you define traditional evolutionary taxonomy? | This type of taxonomy uses common descent and the amount of adaptive evolutionary change of the organism to classify it. |
| Are metazoan animals unicellular or multicellular? | multicellular |
| Are protozoan animals unicellular or multicelluar? | unicellular |
| What are epithelial tissues? | Sheets of cells that cover an external or internal surface. |
| How are epithelial tissues classified? | By cell form and the number of layers of cells. |
| This type of epithelial tissue is found in the lungs and blood capillaries. | Simple squamous |
| This type of epithelial tissue is found in the small ducts of the kidneys and salivary glands. | Simple cuboidal |
| This type of epithelial tissue is found in the intestine tract. | Simple columnar |
| This type of epithelial tissue is found in the oral cavity, esophagus, anal canal, vagina, and skin. | Stratified squamous |
| This type of epithelial tissue is found in the urinary tract and bladder. | Transitional |
| What are the three muscle types? | Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. |
| A type of symmetry where any plane passing through the center divides a body into equivalent or mirrored halves. | spherical symmetry |
| A type of symmetry where forms can be divided into similar halves by more than two planes passing through the longitudinal axis. | radial symmetry |
| A type of symmetry where only two planes passing through the longitudinal axis produce mirrored halves. | bilateral symmetry |
| What is metamerism? | The repetition of structural parts. |
| What is cephalization? | The evolutionary process by which sensory organs and specialized appendages become localized at the head region. |
| What is binomial nomenclature? | The Linnaean system of giving a species two names. |
| What are taxonomic characters? | Features that taxonomists use to study variation within and among species. |
| What are clades? | Organisms or species that share derived character states from subsets within the study group. |
| What is a cladogram? | The nested hierarchy of clades presented as a branching diagram. |
| Who is accredited with developing the binomial system of nomenclature? | Carolus Linnaeus |
| The formal system for naming and classifying species is called what? | Taxonomy |
| The broader science of classifying organisms based on similarity, biogeography, etc is called what? | Systematics |
| What book did Carolus Linnaeus publish in 1735? | Systema Naturae |
| Names of animal groups at each rank in the hierarchy are called what? | Taxa |
| In what kingdom are humans placed? | Animalia |
| In what phylum are humans placed? | Chordata |
| In what class are humans placed? | Mammalia |
| In what over are humans placed? | Primates |
| In what family are humans placed? | Hominidae |
| In what genus are humans placed? | Homo |
| In what species are humans placed? | sapiens |
| Two different monophyletic groups that share common ancestry with each other more recently than either does with other taxa are known as? | Sister Groups |
| The examination of the varying shapes and sizes of organisms, including their developmental origins is? | Comparative morphology |
| Birds and butterflies both have wings. However, they do not share a recent, common ancestor. Therefore the possession of wings in this case is called? | Homoplasy |
| Phylogenetic systematics was first proposed by? | Hennig |
| An ancestral character shared by members of a clade is called a what? | Symplesiomorphy |
| How many phyla of multicellular animals do zoologists recognize today? | 34 |
| All types of epithelia are supported by an underlying what? | Basement membrane |
| The space surrounding or outside the body's cells is the? | Intracellular space |
| Connective tissue cells are embedded in? | Ground substance |
