SPECIATION & CLASSIFICATION
Allopatric Speciation
Sympatric Speciation
Originalpopulation
Sympatric Speciation n Sympatric speciation is the genetic divergence of various populations (from a single parent species) inhabiting the same geographic region, such that those populations become different species.
Micro vs. Macro Evolution n MICROEVOLUTION- Genes within a population change over time n MACROEVOLUTION- Genes have changed so much that a new species is created
Species n organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
Taxonomy n Branch of biology that involves identification, naming, and classification of species
Linnaean System n Carolus Linnaeus (1700s) Swedish botanist n Language: Latin n Binomial Nomenclature: –Two part name: Genus and species
Examples n Panthera pardus (leopard) n Canis familiaris (domestic dog) n Mus musculus (house mouse) Genus, begins with capital letter Species, begins with lower case Italicized GenusSpecies
Common Names n Everyday names given to organisms. n Example - jellyfish, crayfish n Can be confusing. n Different in different areas, and countries
Aristotle n First person to classify organisms. n Categorized all organisms into 2 groups: plants & animals. n Plants - stem differences n Animals - habitat

Classification of Humans n Domain- Eukaryote n Kingdom - Animalia n Phylum - Chordata n Class - Mammalia n Order - Primates n Family - Hominidae n Genus - Homo n Species - sapiens
Three Domains Eubacteria Archaeabacteria Eukaryotes
Domain: Archaebacteria n Prokaryotic cells n Usually found in extreme environments. n Example - thermoacidophiles
Domain: Eubacteria n Prokaryotic cells n Example – n Escherichia coli ( E.coli)
Domain: Eukaryote n Contains the kingdoms that are eukaryotes n Plant n Animal n Protists n Fungi
Kingdom Protista n Eukaryotic cells n Unicellular & multicellular n Example - Ameba, paramecium
Kingdom Fungi nEnEnEnEukaryotic cells nHnHnHnHeterotrophic nMnMnMnMulticellular nEnEnEnExamples - mushrooms, yeasts.
Kingdom Plantae n Eukaryotic cells n Autotrophic n Multicellular n Example - poison ivy
Kingdom Animalia n Eukaryotic cells n Heterotrophic n Multicellular n Example - humans
Convergent Evolution Process in which unrelated species from similar environments have adaptations that seem very similar
Divergent Evolution Pattern of evolution in which two closely related species gradually become more and more dissimilar
Classification & Identification n Morphology - physical appearance n Embryology - appearance of embryos n Chromosomes n Biochemistry- DNA and amino acids
Why do we classify Organisms? n So we can organize them to make them easier to study. n Less confusing n Continuously changing as we learn more and with the - Now – 3 Domains
Phylogenetic Tree n Branched diagrams that shows evolutionary relationships n Each branch point is a common ancestor
