What are the 3 structures in different organisms that can be compared to infer common lineage?
Homologous structures, Analogous structures, and Vestigial structures
This structure have lost mosr of its ancestral function in more recent species.
Vestegial structures
This structures are with the same set of bones appear different and may have varied functions.
Homologous structures
This structures perform the same function but have very different embryological development or set of structures.
Analogous structures
Common structures shared in the embryo stage and disappear by the time the embryo reaches the juvenile or adult form.
Evidence from Embryology
Organisms usually arise in areas where similar
forms already exist. Similar organisms may
also be found in different locations which could
mean that the two places were previously connected.
Evidences from Biogeography.
Many organisms have similar molecules of life (RNA, DNA, proteins) that suggest descent from a common ancestor with modifications.
Evidence from Molecular Biology
Living things share some biomolecules which may be used to prove relationships. The building blocks of these chemicals may be analyzed to show similarities and differences among organisms.
Evolutionary Relationship
The more similarities, the closer the relationships.
Evolutionary Relationship
The fewer the differences there are between the organisms the more closely related they are.
Evolutionary Relationship
Classifying organism into taxa.
Taxonomy
Governs the pracyices of naming, describing, identifying, and preservation.
Taxonomy
Classification + Nomenclature = ?
Taxomony
It governs the evolutionary history and phylogenetic relationship in addition to taxonomy.
Systematics
It has a broad field of biology that studies the diversification of species.
Systematics
Taxonomy + Phylogeny = ?
Systematics
This is a diagram that represents evolutionary relationships among organisms.
Phylogenetic Tree
What are the parts of a phylogenetic tree?
Root, branch, node, clade, and taxon (taxa)
It was first proposed in 1969 and now the most widely used. It also places all prokaryotes in a single Kingdom Monera and separates the three principal branches of multicellular eukaryotes as separate Kingdoms.
The Five Kingdoms
This is based on modern molecular evidence
and it uses the category Domain as a Superkingdom to emphasize the extremely ancient lineages.
The Three Domains
What are the three domains?
Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya
What are the traditional five kingdoms?
Monera, Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia
Who came up with the five kingdoms classification?
Robert H. Whittaker (1969)
Who invented the taxonomy system?
Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778)
This is a hierarchical system since organisms are grouped into ever more inclusive categories from species up to kingdom.
Taxonomic System
What is this category higher than kingdom?
Domain
Who proposed this category higher than kingdom?
Carl Wooese
What is the taxonomy system's overall chronological order? (Inclusive)
What is the taxonomy system's overall chronological order? (Exclusive)
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
Why are phylogenetic trees useful to biologists?
Evolution Research• Testing hypotheses.• Learning extinct species characteristics.• Classifying organisms.
What is this system bases on phylogeny to organize species or other groups in ways that reflect our understanding of how they evolved from their common ancestors?
Classification System
The first feature of Linnaeus' taxonomy is known as what?
Binomial Nomenclature
What is this naming system devises a scientific name for an organism based on Genus and species?
Binomial Nomenclature
What is the scientific name of a cow?
Bos taurus
What is the scientific name of a Grizzly bear?
Ursus arctos horribilis
What is the scientific name of a Clown fish?
Amphiprion ocellaris
What is the scientific name of a Chilean flamingo?
