Biology Ch 19 Taxonomy & Classification

The method of grouping organisms into categories that represent lines of evolutionary descent is called

• evolutionary classification.

• cladistic analysis.

• binomial nomenclature.

• taxonomy.

Characteristics that appear in recent pars of a lineage but not in its older members are called

• taxons.

• derived characters.

• cladograms.

• genes.

What is used to estimate the length of time that two species have been evolving independently?

• Taxonomy

• Molecular clock

• Cladogram

• Derived characters

The group of organisms that can be larger than a kingdom is called a

• Phylum.

• Class.

• Domain.

• Species.

Unicellular organisms sometimes found in hot springs are part of the domain

• Eubacteria.

• Archaea.

• Protista.

• Eukarya.

The domain Eukarya includes the kingdom(s)

• Protista, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia.

• Protista, Plantae, Bacteria.

• Eubacteria.

• Archaea, Bacteria.

The kingdom Protista contains

• only single-celled organisms.

• both single-celled and multi-celled organisms.

• only multi-celled organisms.

• neither single celled nor multi-celled organisms.

Mushrooms belong to the kingdom

• Protista

• Bacteria.

• Plantae.

• Fungi.

The kingdom Plantae contains primarily

• photosynthetic autotrophs.

• single-celled autotrophs.

• photosynthetic heterotrophs.

• protists.
