Classification Test Review

A cladogram links groups of organisms by :

• showing how evolutionary lines or lineages, branched off from common ancestors.

• binomial nomencalture

• using a dichotomous key

• the three domains

Fungi are described by the following characteristics?

• multicellular, eukaryotes, contain chitin in the cell walls

• multicellular, photosynthetic, autotrophs

• multicellular, specialized cells, heterotrophic

• heterotrophic , and autotrophic prokaryotes

When two species do not interbreed even when they grow very close to each other which evolutionary process fails to occur?

• genetic drift

• natural selective of adaptive traits

• gene flow between species

• mutations

Which of the organisms on the cladogram/dendrogram are more related?

• Bear and chimpanzee

• Lamprey and sunfish

• Newt and lizzard

• lizzard and bear

Bacteria is characterized by which of the following?

• single-celled, nucleus

• single-celled, no nucleus

• single-celled, no nucleus, cell wall

• single-celled , nucleus, large vacuole

Which of the following is a common characteristic that both Fungi and Plants share?

• heterotrophic

• mobile

• prokaryotic

• multicellular

Which conditions are favorable for natural selection to result in a new species?

• A long life span

• a static environment

• an inherited variation

• unlimited resources

What does the addition of branches off of the main branch indicate?

• a closer relationship among those 2 organisms

• no relation among those organisms

• flatworms are most closely related to Echinodems

• are more closely related to each other than they are to Arthropods

The two word naming system that scientists use to classify organisms

• taxa

• double taxa

• binomial nomenclature

• dichotomous identification

Animal Kingdom is characterized by which description?

• multi-cellular, specialized cells, heterotrophic, complex

• multi-cellular, eukaryotic, cells walls contain chitin

• multi-cellular, autotrophic, photosynthetic

• multi or uni-cellular , some cell walls some not, some autotrophic, some heterotrophic
