Zoology 6-9-12
First Test
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Genetics | the study of inheritance of traits |
| taxonomy | giving things a new name/classifying |
| evolution | changing to adapt to an enviorment |
| ecology | organisms as they live in their environment |
| paleontology | study of fossils |
| cytology | study of cells |
| eutomology | study of insects |
| physiology | study of the organs doing work |
| morphology | study of outside organs |
| anatomy | study of organs |
| mammalogy | animals |
| ornithology | study of birds |
| herpetology | study of reptiles and amphibians |
| ichthyology | study of fish |
| monera | ex: bacterium, #Cells: unicellular, mode feeding: heterotrophic, mode of reproduction: asexual, type of cells: proka |
| protista | ex: amoeba, paramecium #Cells: unicellular, mode feeding: heterotrophic, mode of reproduction: asexual, type of cells: eukaryotic |
| Fungi | ex: , #Cells: , mode feeding: , mode of reproduction: , type of cells: |
| plantae | ex: sunflower, #Cells:uni , mode feeding: hetero , mode of reproduction: asexual , type of cells: eukaryotic |
| animalia | ex: pig , #Cells:multi , mode feeding: hetero , mode of reproduction: sexual , type of cells:eukaryotic |
| n1 | number of animals initially captured and marked |
| n2 | number of animals subsequently captured |
| n3 | number of recaptures that were marked |
| what are the five assumptions that would cause the method to fail if they were not true | 1. may catch same organism 2. organisms will avoid traps 3. conditions expected to be constant but have no control over 4. assume organisms don't die 5.assume organisms don't migrate |
| Where were fossils usually found? | -sedimentary rocks formed near water -igneous rock near volcanoes -metamorphic rocks created by pressure |
| homologous organs | same organs different use ex: birds wings, insect wings |
| analogous organs | same use different organs ex: birds wing, insect wing |
| embryos | time of life between zygo and fetus |
| implications of phylogeny | see more common traits in Embryos than adults |
| what are vestigial organs | organs that are wasting away along time from lack of use |
| geography | distribution of resources and how we use them |
| biogeography | animals and their resources |
| divergent evolution | two similar species become different over time |
| convergent evolution | unrelated organisms acquire or evolve similar structures as an adaptation to particular environmental conditions. |
