genus?

Back 3

taxonomic category containing similar species that share characteristics

families are combined into orders

Front 8

CLASS

CLASSIFICATION OF A HONEY BEE

Back 12

Eukarya, Animalia, Arthropoda, Insecta, Hymenoptera, Apidae, Apis, Apis mellifera

Front 13

BIOLOGICAL SPECIES

Back 13

group of natural populations can mate or that could mate isolated fromeach other

Front 14

PHYLOGENY

Back 14

an organisms evolutionary history

Front 15

CONVERGENT EVOLUTION

Back 15

similarities that evolve in organisms which are not closely related to one another,often because of living closely together in similar habitats

Front 16

ANALOGOUS CHARACTERISTICS

Back 16

similarities that come from convergent evolution and show examples of convergent evolution.

Front 17

CLADISTICS

Back 17

method of analysis by inferring relationships based on shared characteristics. Helps in the determination of a species origin.

Front 18

ANCESTRAL CHARACTERISTIC

Back 18

if the characteristic evolved in a common ancestor of both groups, but were previously different groups

Front 19

DERIVED CHARACTER

Back 19

a character that evolved in an ancestor of one group but not of another. Feathers could be an example.

Front 20

CLADOGRAM

Back 20

a branching diagram showing relationships among groups of organisms.

Front 21

EVOLUTIONARY SYSTEMICS

Back 21

degrees of importance to characters and produce a subjective analysis of evolutionary relationships.

Front 22

PHYLOGENETIC TREE

Back 22

Where evolutionary relationships are displayed in a branching diagram.

Front 23

Identify the kinds of information that scientists use when they classify organisms.

Back 23

Identify the kinds of information that scientists use when they classify organisms.

Front 24

Describe the differences between convergent evolution and analogous characteristics.

Back 24

Describe the difference between convergent evolution and analogous characters.

Front 25

Draw a diagram of the seven levels of biological classification.

Back 25

Draw a diagram of the seven levels of biological classification.

Front 28

The offspring of a donkey (Equus asinus) and a horse (Equus caballus) is a mule. The mule is unable to reproduce because is a hybrid.

Should these 2 animals have the same classification or remain classified as separate species.

Back 28

The offspring of a donkey (Equus asinus) and a horse (Equus caballus) is a mule. The mule is unable to reproduce because it is a hybrid. Should these 2 animals be classified as different species according to the biological species concept? Explain your answer.
