This is the number of taxon used in the current system.

What is 8?

The taxon that represents the smallest group of organisms.

What is genus?

The main difference that separates the Domain Eukarya from the other two domains.

What is the presence of a nucleus and membrane organelles?

2 differences in the modern taxonomy system vs. the original Aristotle system

What is use of binomial nomenclature for naming instead of common names and long descriptions and 8 taxons vs. 2?

Father of Modern Taxonomy

Who is Linnaeus?

Heterotrophic Eukaryotic Motile

What is Kingdom Animalia?

Eukaryotic Autotrophic Nonmotile

What is Kingdom Plantae?

Prokaryotic Lives in Extreme Environments

What is Kingdom Archaea (Archaebacteria)?

Multicellular Heterotrophic Digest Food outside of their body

What is Kingdom Fungi?

Can be “animal- like” or “plant-like” but is neither an animal or a plant

What is Kingdom Protista?

The most recent common ancestor of Angiosperms and Conifers.

Who is species B?

The group of species is most related to the Ferns.

Who are the Conifers?

A group of species that includes an ancestral species and all of its descendants.

What is a clade?

The name given to the chart comparing traits among organisms that is used to construct cladograms.

What is a character table?

The structures that are shared by the in- group but not by the out-group and are used to create cladograms

What are Homologous Structures (Shared Derived Characters)?

The anatomical position for each of the terms: Anterior Posterior Dorsal Ventral

What is Anterior - Head Posterior - Tail Dorsal - Back Ventral – Bottom (or belly)?

The difference in bilateral and radial symmetry.

What is that radial symmetry is an animal radiating from the center whereas bilateral symmetry is identical left and right sides?

The group of organisms that show the closest relationship based off of body symmetry, skeleton, and body segmentation out of the following (MUST ALSO TELL WHY): 1) Centipedes, Crustaceans, and Insects 2) Echinoderms, Cnidarians, and sponges 3) Vertebrates, Crustaceans, and flatworms 4) Cnidarians, Flatworms, and Annelid Worms

#1 because all of these are classes in the phylum arthropoda.

Only phylum that consists of animals that have no tissues.

What is Phylum Porifera?

In soft-bodied animals, a noncompressible fluid in the body cavity that provides a rigid structure against which muscles contract, moving the animals.

What is a hydroskeleton (hydrostatic skeleton)?

The difference in an open and closed circulatory system.

What is that an open circulatory system bathes organs in blood while a closed system keeps the blood in vessels?

Insects make up this percentage of the total animal species.

What is 70%?

The name of the single opening of organisms in the phylums Platyhelminthes and Cnidaria that is responsible for digestion and movement of nutrients in the body.

What is a gastrovascular cavity?

The 3 body parts all organisms in the phylum arthropoda are divided into.

What is head, thorax, and abdomen?

Organisms in the same Family have more in common and have a more recent common ancestor than those in the same phylum. What BIOLOGICAL MOLECULE would we compare between the species to indicate relatedness?

DNA (or proteins)

Category is Phylums and Classes Make your wager

All classes placed in the phylum Arthropod have certain similarities (because they are in the same phylum) but also possess differences (because they are placed in different classes. List 2 similarities and 3 differences in Arachnids and Insects (which are classes in the Phylum Arthropod).

Similarities: 1) Segmentation, 2) hard exoskeleton, 3) molting, 4) jointed appendages, 5) open circulatory system Differences: 1) # of legs (6 insect and 8 arachnid), 2) antennae (insects have them and arachnids do not), 3) wings (insects have them and arachnids do not), 4) body segments (insects have 3 – head, thorax, and abdomen while arachnids have 2 because the head and thorax are fused)
