2 Aristotle
3
Dichotomous key 3 a key for the identification of organisms based on a series of choices between alternative characterstics
4
4 Carolus Linnaeus 1707-1778 Classification system Taxonomic groups of related organisms Binomial nomenclature (two names) Homo sapiens
5
5 Taxonomic Groups Organisms are classified beyond just genus and species. There are 8 levels of classification (taxa) It moves from general or large to specific or small.
6
An example…. Domain – Universe Kingdom – Milky Way (galaxy) Phylum – Solar system Class – Earth (planet) Order – N. America (continent) Family – USA (country) Genus – NC (state) Species – Winston Salem (city) 6
7
7 Classification of Man
8
8 Species “Species are groups of actually or potentially interbreeding populations, which are reproductively isolated from other such groups.” Reproductively isolated group Ernst Mayr
9
9 Different Species

12 * * Archaea - live in extreme conditions
13
13 Kingdom Monera or Eubacteria Single celled Prokaryotic – no membrane bound organelles Make or absorb food Cell wall –peptidoglycan
14
14 Kingdom Archaea Single celled Prokaryotic – no membrane bound organelles Make or absorb food DNA –Similar to Eukaryotic Cell wall –Pseudopeptidoglycan or protein only
15
15 Kingdom Protista Single celled Eukaryotic – has membrane bound organelles Ingest or produce food
16
16 Kingdom Fungi Multicellular Eukaryotic - has membrane bound organelles Cell wall –Chitin Absorb food
17
17 Kingdom Plantae Multicellular Eukaryotic - has membrane bound organelles Cell wall –Cellulose Produce food –photosynthesis
18
18 Kingdom Animalia Multicellular Eukaryotic - has membrane bound organelles No cell wall Ingest food Motile (move)
19
19 Terminology Classification –Assigning organisms to different catagories based on their relationship Taxonomy –The science of naming organisms Systematics –Determining evolutionary relationships of organisms Phylogeny –Evolutionary history

21 Cladogram Evolutionary relationship of a group of organisms Each clad (group) share something in common (TRAITS) Ancestral traits are the oldest Derived traits evolved later
22
22 Cladogram for Transportation Wheels are the most ancestral Wings are the most derived
23
23 Construct a Cladogram
24
24 Gorilla Four limbs Fur Lost tail
25
25 Tiger Four limbs Fur Tail
26
26 Lizard Four limbs Tail
27
27 Fish Tail
28
28 Chimpanzee Four limbs Fur Lost tail
29
29 Clad With 4 Limbs
30
30 Clad With Fur
31
31 Clad With No Tail
32
32 Characteristics for Constructing Cladogram Tail is the most ancestral Four limbs is the oldest derived trait Fur is a later derived trait Loss of tail is the most derived trait
33
33 GorillaChimpanzee Tiger Lizard Fish Four Limbs Fur Tail Lost
34
34 Gorilla Tail? How do we know the gorilla lost its tail?
35
35 Gorilla’s Vestigial Tail Gorilla Human
36
36 Synapomorphy A derived character shared by two or more groups. –Fur is a synapomorphy for the various groups of mammals. –Synapomorphies are used to determine evolutionary relationships
37
37 Phylogenetic Tree Shows evolutionary relationships More historical than cladogram

47
47 Monophyletic A group of all the descendants of a common ancestor The common ancestor is in the group Example: Mammalia –Ancestor was a mammal like reptile
48
48 Paraphyletic A group of descendants of a common ancestor Including the common ancestor Not all descendants are included Example: Reptiles –Does not include birds and mammals
49
49 Polyphyletic A group that has some similarities Differing common ancestors in the group Not all descendants are included Example: Flying vertebrates
