Document Summary
1: define and describe the terms systematics, taxonomy, taxon, and classification (knowledge/comprehension) 2: define linnaean terms and use the binomial system to arrange the linnaean categories from most to least inclusive (knowledge/comprehension) 3: describe the three domains and current kingdoms (knowledge/comprehension) 4: describe, define and interpret a cladogram and its use as a phylogenetic tree (knowledge/comprehension/analysis) 5: define, compare and contrast homology, homoplasy and analogous structures (knowledge/comprehension) [also covered in chapter 18] 6: define, compare and contrast the concept of shared ancestral and shared derived characters to phylogenetic relationships (knowledge/comprehension/application) 7: define, compare and contrast outgroup, ingroup, monophyletic, paraphyletic, and polyphyletic taxa and apply them to a cladogram (knowledge/comprehension/application) Root a group of organisms that share a common ancestor a branching point on a cladogram [a change in characteristics occurs at a node] base point and common ancestor of a cladogram. Convergent evolution evolution in similar environments results in similar characteristics.
