Based on the characteristics, which would match with the domain bacteria?
single celled, nucleus, large vacuole
single celled, no nucleus, cell wall
single cell, nucleus
multi-celled, nucleus
What do these two kingdoms have in common?
Unicellular
Autotrophic
Nucleus
Heterotrophic
What domain has membrane bound organelles like a nucleus?
Archaea
Protista
Bacteria
Eukarya
Students were divided into groups, to create a tool in different ways. The groups that taught with verbal teaching were 4 times success as the groups that taught with hand gestures. Why is this possible?
The use of hand gestures, allowed the groups to share more information clearly
The use of language, allowed the groups to share more information clearly
The use of bipedal movement, allowed the groups to use their hands more
The size of their brain cavity, allowed the groups to speak more clearly
The Florida Panther was once considered to be a subspecies of cougars and given a special trinomial taxonomy of Puma concolor coryi. Trinomial nomenclature is a type of taxonomic classification that includes subspecies as a third part of the name in order to distinguish two species that are very closely related. Current scientists, however, have studied the Florida Panther and removed the subspecies classification to only Puma concolor. Which of the following would most likely explain why the classification of the Florida Panther changed?
New genetic evidence suggests a much closer relationship between the Florida Panther and other cougars.
Trinomial naming conventions are no longer used by scientists because only the genus and species are important in taxonomy
Shared features between the Florida Panther and other cougars were also found in newly discovered organisms in the world
Advanced technologies have shown a large difference in cell structure between the Florida Panther and other cougars.
Students had to classify this organism under a microscope. Which statement supports the appropriate kingdom?
Kingdom bacteria, because it has a nucleus
Kingdom archaea, because it has a nucleus
Kingdom plantae, because it has a cell wall
Kingdom animalia, because it has a cell wall
Baboons are 97.2% similar to humans, Gorillas are 62.5% similar to humans and chimpanzees are 99.6% similar to humans. Where would baboons be placed on the cladogram?
Between the chimpanzee and the bonobo
Between the chimpanzee and the gorilla
Between the human and bonobo
Between the gibbon and the orangutan
What happened to the classification system due to advances in technology?
Advances in DNA sequencing eliminated the original kingdoms
Advances in DNA sequencing modified our classifications to be more specific and created six kingdoms
Advances in the microscope allowed the kingdom animalia to be created
Advances in the microscope allowed the 6 kingdoms to change to 3 kingdoms
What is the best inference drawn from the skulls
Early hominids had larger brains and had more bipedal movement
Early hominids had smaller brains that allowed them to create tools
Early hominids with small jaws passed on those genes more frequently than those with larger jaws
Early hominids were the top predator and have no evolutionary changes
Which two animals are closely related?
birds and turtles
crocodiles and birds
lizards and mammals
mammals and crocodiles
A student found an organism that he could not identify. He viewed it under a microscope and observed that is was multicellular, had a cell wall made of cellulose, has DNA in a nucleus. He concluded that it was from Kingdom Plantae because it was anchored to the ground? Explain why he was able to come to this conclusion?
He used his observations of the organism to make an inference
He came to conclusion through testing repeatedly
He experimented with multiple variables to draw conclusions
He created a hypothesis and followed the steps of the scientific method
Island wolves have been spotted lurking around Vancouver . Vancouver Island wolves diets consists of salmon, clams, seals, and river otters while the Vancouver mainland wolves diets consists deer or elk. many people have said that the island wolves evolved into a new species? What could support this conclusion?
Mainland wolves cannot swim and cannot reproduce with the island wolves
Mainland wolves adapted to change in food resources and the island wolves did not adapt
Island wolves environment changed due to their diet and changed their phenotype
Island wolves diet changed due to their new environment, which led to a change in their genetic sequences
Which species is closely related to O?
N
P
K
G
