BELL WORK: Copy and answer the question below: Why is a standardized taxonomic system helpful to scientists? Turn in your shark and/or alien dichotomous keys from yesterday!!
2
Set up the next page in your journal… Page: 54 Date: 1-22-16 Title: Taxonomy Review NOT Cornell notes!
4
Taxonomy Recap… MORE INCLUSIVE (INCLUDES MORE STUFF) MORE EXCLUSIVE (INCLUDES LESS)
5
Taxonomy Recap… ORGANISMS BECOME LESS RELATED ORAGNISMS MORE CLOSELY RELATED
6
Taxonomy Recap… If an organism is in one Taxon, then it is automatically included in any taxa above it! But not necessarily included in the taxa below it
7
For today… You will do a walking review. There are TWO copies – set #1 is spread out along the back wall; set #2 is condensed on the side cabinets. They are all the same questions. You have 20 minutes to answer all 20 questions – work quickly!

1.What is the common name for Musca domestica? 2.Based on the table, which 2 animals are most closely related? 3. Which taxa are different for the cat and wolf? fly cat & wolf family, genus, & species
10
4. Identify the organism pictured below: (no segmentation)

5.What is the scientific name for the Canada goose? 6.Explain which two organisms are the most closely related. 7.Which taxa do the human and goose have in common? Branta canadensis lake darner & mosquito (3 taxa in common) kingdom & phylum
14
8.At which taxon do the lion and lynx diverge (become different)? 9.Which kingdom does C. comatus belong to? 10.Which taxa do the lion and lynx have in common? 11. What is the scientific name for the lion? genus fungi kingdom, phylum, class, order, & family Panthera leo

African BuffaloBurchell’s ZebraGrant’s Gazelle Animalia Chordata Mammalia Artiodactyla Bovidae Syncerus caffer Animalia Chordata Mammalia Perissodactyla Equidae Equus burchellii Animalia Chordata Mammalia Artiodactyla Bovidae Nanger granti 12. Explain TWO things you can tell about the relationships between these organisms. buffalo & gazelle are most closely related; all share 3 taxa; zebra is less closely related to the other two
16
The mushroom sea squirt is in the same class as the common sea grape. The mushroom sea squirt is in the same family as the blue spot ascidian. The mushroom sea squirt is in the same order as the white speck tunicate. The mushroom sea squirt is in the same phylum as the starry skate. The information below describes the most specific taxa that the mushroom sea squirt, Sycozoa gaimardi, shares with four other organisms. 13. To which of the four organisms is the mushroom sea squirt most closely related? Explain your answer blue spot ascidian – family is most specific
17
14. Which of the beetles pictured must belong to the same family? Explain your answer. same genus means everything above is also the same
18
15. Four students researched the classifications of the following eight whales: killer whale, Orcinus orca gray whale, Eschrichtius robustus humpback whale, Megaptera novaeangliae pygmy right whale, Caperea marginata fin whale, Balaenoptera physalus minke whale, Balaenoptera acutorostrata North Atlantic right whale, Eubalaena glacialis bowhead whale, Balaena mysticetus The students were asked which two whales are most closely related and why. The table here summarizes the students’ answers. Which student gave the correct answer to the question? Student Whales Most Closely Related Reason 1 killer whale and gray whale They are both mammals. 2 humpback whale and pygmy right whale They are both whales. 3 fin whale and minke whale They are both in the same genus. 4 North Atlantic right whale and bowhead whale They are both in the same family.

16. Identify the organism pictured below

17. Which of the following is NOT a reason why a standardized taxonomic system is important to the scientific community? a.It allows scientists to classify organisms using a universal naming system. b.It allows scientists to study the evolutionary history of organisms based on their classifications. c.It allows scientists in different parts of the world to use their own naming system. d.It helps scientists avoid ambiguity by using a universal naming system.
21
Scientists compared the DNA sequence of a gene in four mammals. A portion of the gene’s DNA sequence in each mammal is shown below:. 18. Based on the DNA sequences, which two mammals are most closely related to each other? MammalDNA Sequence 1TCTCAACTACAA 2TCTCAGCTGCAA 3ACTCAGCTACAA 4TCTCAGCTGCAG 2 & 4

19. Identify the organism pictured below

20. Two organisms in the same Phylum are more closely related than two organisms in the same: a. family b. genus c. domain d. class
