What is taxonomy? - AnswersScience of describing, naming, and classifying organisms
and viruses
What is systematics? - AnswersStudy of biological diversity and evolutionary
relationships
How are taxonomic groups determined? - AnswersBased on hypotheses derived from
systematics
Is taxonomy a perfect system? - AnswersNo, it is an imperfect system
What kind of system is taxonomy? - AnswersHierarchical system
What are the domains bacteria and archaea composed of? - AnswersProkaryotic cells
(cells lacking a nucleus)
What kind of cells does domain eukarya have? - AnswersEukaryotic cells (cells with a
nucleus)
What are the four kingdoms of eukarya? - AnswersProtista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
List the hierarchical system of taxonomy classification. - AnswersKingdom -> Phylum ->
Class -> Order -> Family -> Genus -> Species
What is a prokaryotic cell? - AnswersA cell that does not have a defined nucleus, a
membrane bounded by organelles, or an internal membrane system
What is a eukaryotic cell? - AnswersA cell that does have a defined nucleus, membrane
bounded organelles, and an internal membrane system
What is binomial nomenclature? - AnswersA system of naming organisms using two
words
What are the components of binomial nomenclature? - AnswersGenus name
(capitalized noun) and specific epithet (uncapitalized adjective)
Who proposed binomial nomenclature? - AnswersCarolus Linnaeus in 1753
Why is binomial nomenclature used? - AnswersFor convenience in naming and
classifying organisms
What is phylogeny? - AnswersThe evolutionary history of a species or group of species
How do biologists propose a phylogeny? - AnswersBy using the tools of systematics
What do biologists use to create a phylogenetic tree? - AnswersMorphological or
genetic data
What does a phylogenetic tree represent? - AnswersThe visual representation of how
species are related
What is a phylogenetic tree based on? - AnswersAvailable data
What is a monophyletic group? - AnswersA group of species that includes a recent
common ancestor and all of its descendants
How are smaller or more recent clades organized? - AnswersThey are nested within
larger clades with a common ancestor
What is a paraphyletic group? - AnswersA group that contains a common ancestor and
some, but not all, of its descendants
What happens to taxonomic groups over time? - AnswersThey reorganize themselves
so that only monophyletic groups are recognized
Why are reptiles considered a paraphyletic group? - AnswersBecause birds, which are
descendants of reptiles, are excluded
