2. Diversity of Life EQ Why are organisms different from one another?
5.5 Classification, 4.1 Chromosomes, genes, alleles and mutations, 4.2 Meiosis (HL: 10.1 Meiosis)
How is biotechnology used to fuel variation?
3.6 Enzymes, 4.4 Cloning(HL: 7.6 Enzymes)

3. What is a species?

4. Newfound species http://www.livescience.com/topics/newfound-species/

5. What is a species?
Ecological species = set of organisms adapted to a particular set of resources in an environment (niche)
Genetic species = similarity of DNA
Evolutionary species = share a similar ancestor
Breeding species = two organisms that are able to reproduce and produce fertile offspring

6. What is a species? Lions and tigers
Evolutionarily separated from one another 3.7 million years ago
Can interbreed
Ligers (Male lion, female tiger cross) v.s. Tiglons (Male tiger, female lion cross)
But do not interbreed in the wild
Lions are grassland cooperative hunters v.s. Tigers are woodland individual hunters

7. What is a species?
What about two populations which could potentially interbreed but do not because they are living in different niches or are separated by long distance?
What about species that do not interbreed because they reproduce asexually? (bacteria or clonal plants)

8. How many species are there on earth?

9. How many species exist in our world?
Only counting eukaryotes!

10. Taxonomy Practice and science of classification
Purpose of classification
Universal language for communication among scientists over the world
“Blue crab”: the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus), the lesser blue crab (Callinectes similis), the red blue crab (Callinectes bocourti), the ornate blue crab (Callinectes ornatus), and the blue land crab (Cardisoma guanhumi). 
Mugil cephalus, is found all over the world, and has a variety of common names (striped mullet, black mullet, sea mullet, flathead mullet, and gray mullet)

11. 5.1 Bionomical system of nomenclature
Carl Linnaeus (1707 – 1778)
Systema Naturae (1753)
group apes and human beings in the same category
4 groups of humans: inherited biological and cultural characteristics
Homo European: light-skinned, blond, and governed by laws
Homo American was copper-colored and was regulated by customs
Homo Asiatic was sooty and dark-eyed and governed by opinions
Homo African was black and indolent and governed by impulse
By 21st standards… Was Linnaeus a racist?

12. 5.1 Bionomical system of nomenclature
species = a group of organisms with similar characteristics which can interbreed and produce fertile offspring
genus = principal taxonomic category that ranks above species and below family
binomial nomenclature
first name = genus, written in italics, if in type, or underlined if not, with the first letter in upper case
second name = species, written in italics, if in type, or underlined if not, all letters in lower case
E.g. Homo sapiens

17. To do Complete: A grouping challenge
Using your classification, make a dichotomous key. If you are not sure what that is, look at page 148 – 149 in your Pearson textbook.
