BIOL 1202 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Protist, Multicellular Organism, Archaea
Document Summary
5 kingdom classification systems in use through the late 1900s. Plant = multicellular eukaryotic organism that can do photosynthesis. Fungus = multicellular organism that feeds through absorption. Animal = multicellular eukaryote that feeds through ingestion. This outdated system gave way to waese"s domains. 2: eukarya is more closely related to archaea, then to bacteria, scientists believe that the protistan kingdom belongs to be spread out through other. Basic backbone behind modern taxonomic classification thanks to lenaus. Taxon (taxa) = the named taxonomic unit(s) at any level in this taxonomic hierarchy. Panthera = genus pardus = specific epithet that refers to one species in the genus panthera. Linnaeus convinced us to use a hierarchical classification system. Darwin provided us with the mechanism by which evolution results in descent with modification. Simplest explanation of how these species are related today. Radiometric dating of fossils allows us to put time on this tree. Dna sequence allows for the relationship to be recorded.
