Inquiry questions

Classification and Taxonomy

·      How is taxonomy organized?

·      What is the significance of a bionomial systems?

·      Two types of classification techniques.

The original idea by Linnaeus was to make phylogenic tree, using a pattern of smallest to greatest similarity.

This idea did not consider evolutionary relationships between classified species.

DNA Evolution

http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/mutations_01

Organisms are now classified that show lines of evolutionary descent.

Molecular similarities in DNA provide clues to similar species. (See case study). If a species has the same DNA how closely do you think the two species are?

A gene, is a segment of DNA. DNA is a code to produce proteins. Similarity in proteins can be used to classify organisms at a molecular level.

Classification is arduous

Natural bodies are divided into three kingdomes of nature: viz. the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms. Minerals grow, Plants grow and live, Animals grow, live, and have feeling.
