It refers to the relationship between ancestors and descendants and relationships among descendant taxa. It shows the lineage of taxa which can be summarized in a branching diagram called a phylogenetic tree.1. Express some basic evolutionary relationships among groups of microorganisms, plants, and animals; 2. Illustrate the relationship of organisms with their environment; and 3.

Flamingos and penguins are different colors. The gene for the human hormone insulin can be inserted into bacteria, and the resulting bacteria can use the gene to produce functional insulin. A robin can fly, but a penguin cannot. Fungi tend to absorb nutrients from other organisms, while animals consume their food. O Living organisms span a range of sizes.arrow_forward

- A standardized classification system based on evolutionary trends and relationships was established to group living things. Which of these justifies the use of a standardized classification system? This standardized classification allows for organisms with similar appearance to be easily grouped. This standardized classification allows for scientific agreement on grouping of organisms worldwide. This standardized classification does not provide a common mechanism for scientists to use when collaborating. The standardized classification system requires that no changes be made to a species taxonomic placement after initial naming.arrow_forwardDefine the following terms: divergent evolution, convergent evolution, analogous structures, homologous structuresarrow_forwardWhich of the following is a trait shared by ALL organisms in the Archaeplastida Supergroup?

- Identify what is being described by each of the following statementsarrow_forwardScientists classify living things in order to organize the astonishing diversity of life on Earth. Modern scientists base their classifications mainly on molecular similarities. They group together organisms that have similar proteins and DNA. Molecular similarities show that organisms are related. In other words, they are descendants of a common ancestor in the past. As we said earlier in our discussion, there are species that needs to be named and some are to be discovered. However, with the current environmental situation we have at the present (pollution, exploitation of resources, forest fires, and others), these species that are yet to be identified are being endangered and at the verge of extinction. As a matter of fact, the University of Turku reported last July 1, 2020 that there are 15 million estimated different species living in our planet but 2 million of them are currently known to science. Discovering these remaining species is important for them to be protected. Also,…arrow_forwardFind the flaws! There are eight properties of life. They are: order, response to stimuli, reproduction, adaptation, growth, regulation, consciousness, and energy processing. Taxonomy is a system of classification for living things. The taxonomic hierarchy from broadest to narrowest is: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. Genus and species are used to create a scientific name. Genus and species are capitalized and the whole name is bolded. A scientific name gives each species a unique name and helps avoid confusion. There are three domains of life and they are: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Bacteria are single-celled prokaryotes and live in conditions similar to people. They can be both harmful and helpful to humans. Archaea are single-celled prokaryotes that live in extreme conditions like boiling hot springs. Eukarya are single and multi-celled eukaryotes. Multi-celled organisms are things like algae, protists, and slime molds. Prokaryotes and…arrow_forward
