A) Use these words to answer the following questions: (binomial nomenclature, class, classification, division, domain, family, genus, kingdom, order, phylum, taxon, taxonomy.)

   1) system of naming species using two words:
   2) taxon of closely related species that share a recent common ancestor:
   3) branch of biology that groups and names species based on studies of their different characteristics:     

4) on what did Linnaeus base his classification?
     a) derived characters b) binomial nomenclature c) morphology and habitat d) evolutionary relationship

5) Short answer: Explain the rules and uses of binomial nomenclature.

6) Which taxon contains one or more kingdom?
       a) genus b) phylum c) family d) domain

 Use these words to fill in the blanks:( Archaea, Eubacteria, fungus, Protist)

7) The cell walls of ..................... contain peptidoglycan.

 8)  Cool .......................... are called extremophiles because they grow in extreme environment.

9) Some types of........................... ..... are used to make food products like bread and cheese.

10) 13) In which would prokaryotes found living acid runoff of sulfur vents of volcanoes likely be classified?
       a) Bacteria b) Archaea c) Eubacteria d) Protista
 
11) Which substances would most likely be in the cells walls of an organism with chloroplasts and tissues?
       a) peptidoglycan b) chitin c) hyphae d) cellulose

12) Open Ended: Two scientists produce two different cladograms for the same group of organisms. Explain how the differences are possible.
 
13) Short Answer: describe how to make a cladogram. include the types of characters that are used and the judgments you must make about the characters.

14) Short Answer: Summarize how biochemical characters can be used to determine phylogeny.

15) Short Answer: Predict in which domain a taxonomist would place a newly discovered photosynthetic organism that has cells without membrane- bound  organelles and no peptidoglycan.

16) Short Answer: Write an argument for or against including Eubacteria and Archaea in the same domain. How would this affect the phylogenetic tree of life?           

17) Very Short Answer: Describe how the changing species concept has affected classification systems.

18) Very Short Answer: List and describe the different concepts of a species.

19) Very Short Answer: Describe some methods used to determine phylogeny?

20) Very Short Answer: Organize the following derived characters on a cladogram in order of ascending complexity: multicellular, hair, backbone, unicellular, and four appendages.

i request u to post he answers clearly because i could not the answers that u posted before.
so i request u pleaseeee

Please only post two questions be day
 
13) Short Answer: describe how to make a cladogram. include the types of characters that are used and the judgments you must make about the characters.

1.  Start with a list of taxa that are to be fit into the cladogram (the ingroup) and their derived characters.  Choose an outgroup; a taxa that shares a primitive character with the ingroup, but exhibits none of the derived characters.    

2.  Fill in a character table that will be used to make the cladogram.  The taxon with the least number of derived characters should be the first row.  The taxon with the greatest number of derived characters should be the last row.  The character that is seen in the greatest number of taxa should be the first column.  The character that is exhibited in the least number of taxa should be the last column.  Use ones and zeroes to represent presence (1) or absence (0) of specific characters in specific species.   
    
3.  Build the cladogram step-by-step.  Start with the first character (first column).  The outgroup is the only taxon that doesn't exhibit the first character.  Separate it from the other taxa on the cladogram.  Remember, the outgroup shares a common ancestor with the ingroup.  Also, each split in the cladogram marks a separate evolutionary event.      

4.  By looking at the completed cladogram, we can see which species are most closely or distantly related.  In this example, humans are more closely related to chimpanzees, than to any other taxon on the cladogram.

14) Short Answer: Summarize how biochemical characters can be used to determine phylogeny.

Comparisons of the similarities and differences between DNA in two groups serves to establish homologous relationships. Further, since DNA comes from an animal's ancestors, we can begin to establish the ancestral relationships of these animals.

15) Short Answer: Predict in which domain a taxonomist would place a newly discovered photosynthetic organism that has cells without membrane- bound  organelles and no peptidoglycan.

There are three domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.

Eukarya has membrane-bound organelles, so it's out.

Bacterial walls are made of peptidoglycan, so bacteria is out.

That leaves Archaea. So, there you have it! That's your answer.


16) Short Answer: Write an argument for or against including Eubacteria and Archaea in the same domain. How would this affect the phylogenetic tree of life?           

17) Very Short Answer: Describe how the changing species concept has affected classification systems.

20) Very Short Answer: Organize the following derived characters on a cladogram in order of ascending complexity: multicellular, hair, backbone, unicellular, and four appendages.

Here you have to arrange the organisms from least complex to most complex.

For example: sponges Rightwards Arrow jelly fish Rightwards Arrow nematods Rightwards Arrow ann so on.

Jellyfish have tissues and sponges do not therefore jellyfish are more complex than sponges. Nematods are worms such as tapeworms that have a complete digestive tract and have true tissues therefore it is more complex than sponges and jellyfishes.

unicellular - prokaryotes
multicellular - plants
hair, backbone - mammals
