8. Categories Classification 300 Points A microscopic unicellular organism is observed to have the following characteristics: a food gullet, a flagellum, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and a nucleus. This organism belongs to which kingdom?

9. Categories Classification 300 Points What is Protista?

10. Categories Linnaeus defined the biological classification system that we still use today. It is a hierarchical system that starts with a few categories at the highest level, and further subdivides them at each lower level. List the hierarchy: Classification 400 Points

11. Categories Classification 400 Points Kingdom Phylum / Division Class Order Family Genus Species

12. Categories Three methods of classification. Classification 500 Points

13. Categories What is: Traditional/orthodox- stresses both common ancestry and the amount of divergence among groups Phentic- is a process by which taxa are clustered together based on the number of their similarities. Cladistics- groups organisms based on shared derived characters, not the overall similarity of potential group members. Classification 500 Points

14. Categories The physical characteristics of an organism. Basic Genetics 100 Points

15. Categories Basic Genetics 100 Points What is the phenotype?

16. Categories Basic Genetics 200 Points Having a pair of identical alleles for a characterisitc.

17. Categories What is homozygous? Basic Genetics 200 Points

18. Categories Basic Genetics 300 Points A situation in which a gene has more than two alleles (ex. blood type).

19. Categories Basic Genetics 300 Points What is multiple alleles?

20. Categories An F 1 rabbit that is homozygous for whiteness is crossed with a heterozygous black rabbit. The probability of having a white bunny. Basic Genetics 400 Points

22. Categories How polygenic traits and pleiotropy are opposites. Basic Genetics 500 Points

23. Categories pleiotropy is when you have one gene that affects more than one trait (ex. cystic fibrosis) polygenic traits are when you have multiple genes coding for one trait (ex. hair or eye color) Basic Genetics 500 Points
