1. Chapter 12: Classification Essential Question: How are living things organized and named?

2. I. Biodiversity: variety of organisms A. Classifying organisms 1. Taxonomy: branch of biology that names and groups organisms according to their characteristics and evolutionary history a) taxon (taxa): particular group within a taxonomic system 2. Common names were confusing and varied from place to place 3. Long descriptions in Latin were used but they were difficult to remember

3. B. Linnaeus’s system (1700’s) 1. Use organisms’ form and structure to group them into categories a) kingdom was the largest group b) plant and animal kingdoms 2. Levels of classification a) kingdom: largest category b) phylum c) class d) order f) genus e) family g) species: single organism type Classification

5. Grizzly bearBlack bearGiant panda Red fox Abert squirrel Coral snake Sea star KINGDOM Animalia PHYLUM Chordata CLASS Mammalia ORDER Carnivora FAMILY Ursidae GENUS Ursus SPECIES Ursus arctos Section 18-1 Classification of Ursus arctos Go to Section:

6. 3. Binomial nomenclature: species name has two-parts and is written in italics Binomial nomenclatureBinomial nomenclature a) first name: genus (capital letter) b) second name: species identifier and usually a descriptive word (small cased letter) c) example: Homo sapiens (wise human) d) written in Latin so all scientists can identify the organism 4. Modern system has domain level above kingdom

7. The Linnaean System of Classification Scientific Names Why not just use common names? Potato Bug Roly Poly Bug Sow Bug Pill Bug OR Armadillium vulgare Dandelion Irish Daisy Lion’s tooth Priests crown OR Taraxacum officinale Mountain Lion Cougar Puma OR Puma concolor

8. Review Binomial Nomenclature Rules: All scientific names are in Latin (same for all scientists, same in every language). Consists of a genus (first part) and species descriptor (second part). Genus is capitalized and species is in lower case. Genus and species names are either underlined or italicized.

9. II. Systematics: organizes living things by similarities in embryos, chromosomes, proteins, DNA, fossils A. Phylogenetics: analysis of evolutionary relationships among taxa 1. Phylogenetic diagram/tree: family tree that shows the evolutionary relationships thought to exist among groups of organisms

11. 2. Fossil record: one form of evidence used in making a phylogenetic tree that can provide clues to evolutionary relationships 3. Morphology: study of the internal and external structures of organisms: the greater the number of homologous Morphological features, the more closely related they are

12. 4. Embryological patterns of development: provide evidence of phylogenetic relationships based on similarity among embryos of different species 5. Chromosomes and DNA: compare DNA, RNA, and chromosomes of different species: same patterns show how closely they are related

13. B. Cladistics: use shared derived characters to establish evolutionary relationships 1. Derived character: feature that apparently evolved only within the group under consideration 2. Example: birds have a derived character of feathers, most animals do not have feathers other than birds 3. Shared character: feature that all members of a group have in common 4. Cladograms: ancestry diagrams made by means of cladistic analysis Cladistics

16. III. Modern classification A.Three Domains of life: all living things seems to be related by ancestry to one of three major lineages or domains 1. Domain Bacteria: Eubacteria kingdom 2. Domain Archaea: includes the Archaebacteria kingdom 3.Domain Eukarya: includes the Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia kingdoms

17. B. Six Kingdom system: first kingdom aligns with domain Bacteria, second kingdom with domain Archaea, and the last four kingdoms with the domain Eukarya

18. Kingdoms Domains and kingdoms

19. 1. Kingdom Eubacteria a) unicellular prokaryotes b) “eu” means true c) bacteria that affects your life

20. Spirochetes Lyme’s disease

21. Tooth Decay Bacteria

22. Food Poisoning Bacteria

23. Cyanobacteria (blue-green bacteria)

24. 2. Kingdom Archaebacteria a) unicellular prokaryotes b) distinctive cell membranes and genetic properties c) live in harsh environments d) “archae” means ancient

25. Archaebacteria at Yellowstone National Park Morning Glory Hot Spring

26. Archaebacteria at Yellowstone National Park

27. 3. Kingdom Protista a) most are single celled eukaryotes b) some are multicellular c) very different from each other d) placed in category if not a fungi, plant, or animal

28. Euglena Paramecium Ameoba Ephelota Photosynthetic (chloroplasts) or heterotrophic. Heterotrophic, respond to touch and light.

29. Didinium

30. Stentor

31. Euplotes

32. Ceratium

33. 4. Kingdom Fungi a) heterotrophic unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes b) absorb nutrients c) include mushrooms, mildew, and molds

If the bean is dark-colored ….. go to step 3. 3.a. If the bean is a solid color ….. go to step 4. 3.b. If the bean is speckled ….. it is a pinto bean. 4.a.
