Classification And Taxonomy Of The World

The levels consisted in this system would be a cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, and the organization of an organism would be a population, community, ecosystem, and finally to the biosphere. A chipmunk lies in the organism level of this structured system. A chipmunk falls in this category because it is alive and contains an organ system. This means that in the chipmunks body there are sets of organs operating to perform certain tasks. There are many major characteristics of life, and frankly, we share the same ones as chipmunks. A few of the 7 characteristic that we share are the ability to grow and change, reproduction, having a reaction to our environment, and a multitude of more correspondences. All in all, it is remarkable to examine the ways that chipmunks are connected with other organisms in the ecosystem based on their level of organization and characteristics of

4. Modern taxonomists (scientists who classify organisms) no longer use the classification of the kingdom of Protists. List the three other kingdoms of Eukarya.

By using DNA sequencing software and using comparative DNA alignment programs, scientists can piece together where the differences and similarities align and the percentage of identical DNA between two species. Another method of classifying these gene-swapping organisms is to alter the method of vertical genomics and shift to a new form of lateral genomics (Koonin et al. 2001). A method using vertical, linear genomics alone will not provide enough resources to clearly assign an organism to a taxonomic group. Also, scientists can look at gene loss over time as a method to group these organisms (Koonin et al. 2001). If scientists would rather stick with similarities to define a taxonomic group, the use of genomic instruments can provide a better picture of which genes are highly conserved between organisms of the same group (Doolittle 1999). Researchers have begun to employ this method as the means for best completing a phylogenetic tree. Using alignments of single copy genes conserved in the genome allows for scientists to achieve that vertical pattern of phylogeny that can be lost when focusing on the amount of transferred genes between groups (Lang et al. 2013).

Kingdom: Animalia, it's an organism who is multicellular meaning eukaryotic and can move anywhere by itself though its lifespan.

The first organism you discover possesses a nucleus and seems to be engulfing another organism. Describe and defend two possible Linnaean classifications and two group classifications for this organism. (5 pts)

Summarize the hierarchy of organization found in complex multicellular organisms: Organism, organ system, organ, tissue, cell, organelle, biological molecule,

Introduction: Almost every place on Earth, from the surface of your skin to the bottom of the ocean, is teeming with living things. To keep track of the vast diversity of life, biologists historically named and classified organisms according to their appearance. The system of categorizing organisms is

6. What kingdom are algae classified? The classification of algae is not yet settled, however, there are different divisions of kingdoms. Chlorophyta (Green Algae), Kingdom Rhodophyta (Red Algae), Halophyte (Brown Algae), Chrysophyta (Golden Algae, Yellow-Green Algae, and Diatoms) What domain? Eucaryotes-eucaryotic photosynthesizers (plants) Algae are classified by their photosynthetic absorption spectra.

One reason why branch of taxonomy is important for future scientific knowledge is because science is able to distinguish the difference between species. Being able to do distinguish the difference between

Phylogenetic species concept would be the most expedient and effective process of collecting, naming, and describing what she found. Phylogenetic relies on common ancestry and shared evolutionary when defining a species.

1. Did the construction of the phylogenetic tree based on the 14 living Caminalcules change the way you would group Caminalcules species in your taxonomic classification (chart)? What does this suggest about classification based on strictly of similarity versus evolutionary relationship?

A species is certain kind of animal, plant, fungus or other organism. Which is a group of individual that are part of interbreed in nature, it is the largest gene pool under a natural condition. It is when a pair of organisms produce and offspring in nature and both parents need to belong to same species. This definition does not include many types of bacteria which are capable to asexual reproduction. Another difficult way of understanding would be like for example a cat species are capable of hybridizing such as a lion and a tiger who mate and produce a liger as well as a cross between a male jaguar and female lion which produce a jaglion. Species are formed through a process called speciation and this happens when lineage of single splits into to two or more separate species, this is how new species are created.

Why do we classify? We classify because it is easy as well as instinctive. It is human nature to classify. However, humans are imperfect creatures, and sometimes it is better to resist these primitive urges to categorize people in to class. Classifying people is determinative to those being classified, to those classifying, and society as a whole.

After discovering dinosaurs, Paleontologists then had to classify and name the fossils and dinosaurs they belonged to.

"Nothing is more remarkable than Aristotle 's efforts to exhibit the relationships of living things as a scala naturae.” Charles Singer, a modern British historian, and zoologist quotes referring to Aristotle’s “History of Animals” which classified organisms in relation to a hierarchical "ladder of life" (scala naturae).
