DO NOW • The evolution of mutant strains of bacteria that are not affected by normal medicines is known as? • What
GOALS • Describe Linnaeus’s role in developing the modern system of naming organisms • Summarize the scientific system for naming a species • List the seven levels of biological classification • List the characteristics that biologists use to classify organisms • Summarize the biological species concept • Relate the analogous structures to convergent evolution • Describe how biologists use cladograms to determine evolutionary histories
Taxonomy Science of naming and classifying organisms Classification
Binomial Nomenclature Latin naming system Consists of two words Developed by Carl Linnaeus Known as the scientific name Classification
Binomial Nomenclature First Word Genus (contains similar species) First letter capitalized Italicize or underline word Second Word Species (one kind of organism from a genus) Most basic form of classification Lowercase Italicize or underline word Classification
Binomial Nomenclature Abbreviated form G. species Provides common scientific language because common names can differ across countries Classification
Binomial Nomenclature When naming new species Name must be in latin No two organisms can have same name Many organisms can have same genus name, but not species name Ex: Homo sapien Homo erectus Classification
Binomial Nomenclature Classifying organisms from general to specific Domain (3: Archaea, Bacteria, Eukarya) Kingdom (5) Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Classification
Classification of a Honey Bee • Kingdom: Metazoa((Animalia) multicellular animals) • Phylum:Arthropoda (arthropods) • Class: Insecta(true insects) • Order: Hymenoptera (ants, bees, wasps) • Family: Apidae (bumble bees, honey bees) • Genus:Apis • Species:Apis mellifera • Common Names: Honey Bee
Biological Species Group of natural populations that can interbreed Are reproductively isolated from other groups Caused by a barrier between groups preventing them from breeding When barriers are incomplete, hybrids may be created when two species breed and produce fertile offspring Ex: Dog + Wolf gives rise to a dog-wolf hybrid Classification
Earth’s Diversity 1.5 million described species 5-10 million undescribed species living in the tropics alone Classification
Evolutionary History Phylogeny- evolutionary history that should be reflected in an organism’s classification Organisms should be classified by relatedness Using physical similarities to accomplish this can be misleading Ex: bird and insect wings- structures actually quite different, evolved separately Classification
Convergent Evolution Similarities evolve in organisms that are not closely related to one another (may live in similar habitats) Analagous characters- similarities arising through convergent evolution Classification
Cladistics Reconstructs evolutionary histories (phylogenies) by inferring relationships based on shared characters Attempts to sequence the order in which different organisms evolved Classification
Ancestral Characters Evolved in a common ancestor of both groups Ex: backbone for birds and mammals Classification
Derived Characters Evolved in an ancestor of one group, but not the other Ex: feathers- evolved in ancestor of bird, but not mammals Organisms with shared derived characters are more closely related than those with shared ancestral characters Classification
Cladogram Branching diagram showing evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms Organisms sharing derived characters are grouped together Classification
Evolutionary Systematics Looks at varying degrees of importance to characters Evolutionary relationships displayed on a phylogenetic tree Classification
Assessment • Complete p. 25 and 27 from the Ch. 14 Biology Resource Book to review the classification material. We will go over the correct answers when you are finished • QUIZ: Complete the Ch. 12-13 Quiz to review the concept of evolution. We will correct this in class. • REVIEW GUIDE: Use the remainder of the period to work on your review guide questions.
