Classification / Taxonomy Notes – 2/17/2011

Taxonomy  The science of naming/classifying living things

I. Taxonomists A. Aristotle ( BC) i. Grouped Animals based on habitat a. Air b. Land c. Water ii. Grouped Plants based on structure a. Herbs b. Shrubs c. Trees

I. Taxonomists B. Carolus Linnaeus ( AD) i. Originated the modern system of taxonomy based on structure a. Binomial Nomenclature 1. two word Latin-naming system 2. Scientific Name b. Writing a Scientific Name 1. Genus species (underlined) 2. Genus species (italicized) c. Examples (Humans) 1. Homo sapiens 2. Homo sapiens

II. Latin So why did Linnaeus use Latin? A. Unchanging B. Root of many languages C. Understood by scientists worldwide

III. Levels of Classification Kingdom Phylum Phylum Class ClassOrderFamilyGenusSpecies Do these levels go from general to specific, or specific to general?

IV. Modern Day Taxonomy A.Structure i. Homology (similar structure) ii. Phylogeny (Evolutionary Relationship) B.Cell Structure i. Mitosis – cell division ii. Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote

IV. Modern Day Taxonomy C.Embryology i. Similar developmental stages D.Biochemistry i. Protein Similarities ii. DNA (genetics)

IV. Modern Day Taxonomy E.Behavioral Differences i. Ex. Different Species of Crickets have different chirps F.Fossils

V. The 6 Kingdoms 1. Archaebacteria 2. Eubacteria 3. Protista 4. Fungi 5. Plantae 6. Animalia We will learn more about each Kingdom soon…

Even though its not snowing…

Dichotomous Key Dichotomous Key  Dichotomous Key = identification aid that uses sequential pairs of descriptive statements (Whoooooo) How about a way to identify species using statements!  Developed by taxonomists  Each statement has only TWO alternative responses  For each pair of statements, the person identifying the organism chooses the statement that describes the organism  The chosen statement either identifies the organism or directs you to another statement  By working through the statements in the key IN ORDER the person can identify the organism
