Test- Unit 12 Taxonomy & Classification

Taxonomy & Classification: Define taxonomy Recognize the importance of a standardized

taxonomic system to the scientific community Categorize organisms using a hierarchical

classification system based on similarities and differences shared among groups

compare characteristics of taxonomic groups, including archaea, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals

Write a mnemonic device to help you remember the order of the Taxonomic categories:DK

Unit 12- Classification & KingdomsI. What is Classification: (pg. 484-489)

Classification is the grouping of items (living or non-living) based on similarities The branch of biology concerned with the grouping and naming of organisms is

known as TaxonomyII. History of Classification

A. Aristotle (384-322 bc) – a. First to develop a classification system based on either animals or plants:

i. Animal- then further classified as red blood or bloodless, then based on their habitats and morphology.

ii. Plants- by size and structure as trees, shrubs or herbs. B. Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778)-

a. Broadened Aristotle’s classification.b. First formal system of taxonomic organization.c. groups are formed according to physical characteristicsd. Developed Binomial Nomenclature (Scientific Name)

i. the 2-words naming system for classification- Scientific Nameii. The scientific name is the Genus and species

1. The genus and species names are always italicized or underlined2. Genus is capitalized, species is not3. Once the scientific name has been used the Genus can be

abbreviated by just using the first letter and then the full species. Ex: Cardinalis cardinalis can be written as C. cardinalis (Cardinal)

4. The scientific name for humans is Homo sapiensC. Modern Classification: The study of evolution in the 1800s has added to Linnaeus’s classification system. (the use of

DNA)a. Morphological Characters-

Organisms are classified by their similarity in form and structure.b. Biochemical Characters-

Scientists use amino acids and nucleotides to help determine evolutionary relationships among species.

Chromosome structure and number is also used

1. Who’s more closely related to the Humans?

2. How can you tell?

3. Who is the least related to the human? Why?

III. Taxonomic Categories1. Domain- Three groups made up of kingdoms

Page 2

Write a mnemonic device to help you remember the order of the Taxonomic categories:DK

2. Kingdom – broadest category, groups of closely related _phyla3. Phylum – groups of closely related _classes4. Class – groups of closely related _orders5. Order - groups of closely related _families6. Family - groups of closely related _genera7. Genus - groups of closely related _species8. Species – _Smallest and most _closely-related group; organisms that share specific characteristics and can

interbreed

IV. The Three Domains of Life Domain Bacteria – Includes all remaining prokaryotes or the _Eubacteria Domain Archaea – Includes the _Archaebacteria Domain Eukarya – Includes all eukaryotic kingdoms - _Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia

V. THE KINGDOMS OF LIFE (pg. 499-503) DNA analysis has had a major impact on the classification system, changing the long-accepted system of 5

kingdoms to 6 kingdoms. The two prokaryotic kingdoms, Archaebacteria and Eubacteria were originally classified together as Kingdom Monera

Tools for classification:1. Dichotomous Keys2. Cladograms3. Phylogenetic Trees

Dichotomous Keys A dichotomous key is used to help identify unknown living things. A dichotomous key is created after the living things have been identified, classified and named. It is a tool for everyone to use to observe structural characteristics of an organism to discover its name. The keys usually ask YES or NO questions about important characteristics of the organism you are trying to

identify. If you answer each question correctly and follow the directions given on the key, the key will lead you to the

name of the living thing.

Name the following birds by using the Dichotomous Key:

1. a. The beak is relatively long and slender…………………………………………………………Certhidea b. The beak is relatively stout and heavy…………………………………………………………. Go to 22. a. The bottom surface of the lower beak is flat and straight…………………………………….. Geospiza

b. the bottom surface of the lower beak is curved………………………………………………… go to 33. a. The lower edge of the upper beak has a distinct bend…………………………………………Camarhynchus b. The lower edge of the upper beak is mostly flat…………………………………………………Platyspiza

Cladograms

The cladogram is a branching diagram that depicts species divergence from common ancestors. Similar to a pedigree, whose branches show direct ancestry, a cladogram’s branches indicate phylogeny. They show the distribution and origins of shared characteristics. Cladograms are testable hypotheses of phylogenetic relationships. The groups used in cladograms are called

clades. i. A clade is one branch of the

cladogram Look at the cladogram to the right:

i. Bears & Chimpanzees have 4 derived characters in common and are presumed to share a more recent common ancestor than Chimpanzees and Lizards, which only share 3 characteristics

Page 8

In the past, biologists would group organisms based solely on their physical appearance. Today, with the advances in genetics and biochemistry, biologists can look more closely at individuals to discover their pattern of evolution, and group them accordingly - this strategy is called EVOLUTIONARY CLASSIFICATION

CLADISTICS is form of analysis that looks at features of organisms that are considered "innovations", or newer features that serve some kind of purpose. (Think about what the word "innovation" means in regular language.) These characteristics appear in later organisms but not earlier ones and are called DERIVED CHARACTERS.

PART I - Analyze the Cladogram Examine the sample cladogram, each letter on the diagram points to a derived character, or something different (or newer) than what was seen in previous groups. Match the letter to its character. Note: this cladogram was created for simplicity and understanding, it does not represent the established phylogeny for insects and their relatives.

Identify which letter represents:1. ______ Wings2. ______ 6 Legs3. ______ Segmented Body 4. ______ Double set of wings5. ______ Cerci (abdomenal appendages)6. ______ Crushing mouthparts7. ______ Legs8. ______ Curly Antennae

PART II - Create Your Own CladogramTo make a cladogram, you must first look at the animals you are studying and establish characteristics that they share and ones that are unique to each group. For the animals on the table, indicate whether the characteristic is present or not. Based on that chart, create a cladogram like the one pictured above.

Plant ClassificationPlants are classified into 2 basic groups based on whether they contain Vascular tissue.

Phylum Bryophyte- NO Vascular Tissue

Page 10

Phylum Tracheophytes – contain vascular tissue

Phylum Bryophyte – No Vascular Tissue1. Bryophytes – No vascular tissue present

Depends on water for reproduction SWIMMING SPERM No vascular system, therefore no taller than 20 cm Examples: mosses, hornworts, liverworts

Phylum Tracheophytes – Contain Vascular Tissue

1. PterophytaPterophytes – commonly called ferns

No pollen (swimming sperm) No seeds No fruits Found predominantly in moist climates because the sperm must swim to the egg cell

2. GymnospermsGymnosperm- “naked seed”

A group of cone bearing plants including the following Phyla: Cycadophyta (ex: sagopalm), Ginkgophyta, Gnetophyta & Coniferophyta (ex: pine, spruce, fir

{Christmas trees}) Have pollen - “flying sperm” so they are no longer tied to water for reproduction Have seeds No fruit cones present Example: Largest group is the conifers which includes pines, spruce & ceader Have common characteristic leaves called needles, which are modified to prevent water loss

3. Angiosperms Group of Flowering plants including Phylum Anthophyta Most complex and adaptable Most successful Have pollen Have seeds Have flowers- enhances pollination Have fruit

Mature ovary Contains one or more seeds Provides embryo with protection Increases seed dispersal

Classes of Angiosperms:A. Class Monoctyledonae (Monocot)

One cotyledon – seed leaf Parallel veins on leaves

Page 11

Fibrous roots Flower parts in multiples of 3

Ex.: Corn, grasses, lilies

B. Class Dicotyledenae (Dicot) Two cotyledon Branching veins on leaves Tap roots

Flowering parts in multiples of 4 or 5 Ex.: rose, oak trees, ect…
