CHAPTER 18 - CLASSIFICATION

CLASSIFICATION & IDENTIFICATION Taxonomy- science of classification � 1. Classification-assigning organisms to a taxa

CLASSIFICATION & IDENTIFICATION Taxonomy- science of classification � 1. Classification-assigning organisms to a taxa based on similarities � 2. Nomenclature- rules of naming � 3. Identification- determining belonging Important for: � sense of relationships, past to present � enhance communication- Doctors & scientists � make predictions about similar organisms

CAROLUS LINNAEUS Species-similar organisms that can interbreed � Didn’t work well for asexual organisms-

CAROLUS LINNAEUS Species-similar organisms that can interbreed � Didn’t work well for asexual organisms- called strains � Linnaeus divided into plantae & animalia only Taxon- group or level of classification � Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species King Phillip Came Over For Good Spaghetti

 The more of these that they have in common, the more closely related

The more of these that they have in common, the more closely related they are Ex: Ursus arctos (grizzly bear) Ursus maritimus (polar bear) Ailuropoda melanoleuca (Giant panda) Who is more closely related?

BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE- 2 PART NAMING use Genus & species � Latin names � Genus-noun,

BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE- 2 PART NAMING use Genus & species � Latin names � Genus-noun, written first, capitalized � Species- adjective, lowercase � *both written in italics or underlined � Ex: Diplococcus pneumoniae or Homo sapiens

PROBLEMS WITH COMMON NAMES 1. 2. 3. They don’t tell how organisms are related

PROBLEMS WITH COMMON NAMES 1. 2. 3. They don’t tell how organisms are related Misleading Vary from place to place

EVOLUTIONARY CLASSIFICATION Based on: 1. Phylogeny- evolutionary history � Modern day vs fossil record

EVOLUTIONARY CLASSIFICATION Based on: 1. Phylogeny- evolutionary history � Modern day vs fossil record 2. Developmental stages- egg, larva, etc. 3. Biochemistry- DNA 4. Behavior- mating rituals, breeding seasons, calls

SYNAPOMORPHY- A SHARED, DERIVED CHARACTER The more recently two species diverged from a common

SYNAPOMORPHY- A SHARED, DERIVED CHARACTER The more recently two species diverged from a common ancestor, the more synapomorphies they will share. Unique synapomorphies found only in a single group provide strong evidence for the common ancestry of members of that group.

THE SYNAPOMORPHIC ASTRAGALUS ANKLE BONES OF WHALES (CETACEANS) AND CLOVEN-HOOVED MAMMALS (ARTIODACTYLS) HELPED BIOLOGISTS DETERMINE THAT THESE TWO GROUPS SHARE A RELATIVELY RECENT COMMON ANCESTOR.
