26.1
Phylogeny Evolutionary history of a species or a group of
related species Made by using evidence from systematics
Focuses on classifying organisms & relationships Uses fossils, morphology, genes, & molecular
evidence

Taxonomy Ordered division of organisms into categories Based on a set of characteristics used to assess
similarities & differences

BinomialNomenclature
2 part naming system that consists of the GENUS & the SPECIES
Example: Canis familiaris (common dog)Devoloped by Linnaeus

Hierarchical classification of organisms:
DOMAIN KINGDOM PHLUM CLASS ORDER FAMILY GENUS SPECIES
The level of relatedness increases as you move down the list

Phylogenetic trees Used to depict hypotheses about evolutionary
relationships The branches of the trees reflect the
hierarchical classifications of groups nested within more inclusive groups

26.2
Phylogenies are inferred from morphological & molecular data
1) Homologous structures Similarities due to shared ancestry (whale’s
flipper)2) Convergent evolution
When 2 organisms developed similarities as they adapted to similar environmental challenges
Note due to common ancestor Streamlined bodies of a tuna & dolphin
![Page 10: Chapter 26 – Phylogeny & the Tree of Life](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081422/56816109550346895dd05386/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
3) Analogous structures Structures from convergent evolution Wings of butterfly & bat
4) Molecular systematics Uses DNA to determine evolutionary
relationships The more alike the DNA sequences of 2
organisms, the more closely related they are
![Page 11: Chapter 26 – Phylogeny & the Tree of Life](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081422/56816109550346895dd05386/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
26.3
Building of a phylogenetic treeA cladogram depicts patterns of shared
characteristics among taxa & forms the basis of a PT
A clade (within a tree) is defined as a group of species that includes an ancestral species & all of its descendants
![Page 12: Chapter 26 – Phylogeny & the Tree of Life](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081422/56816109550346895dd05386/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A valid clade is monophyletic, signifying that it consists of the ancestor species and all its descendants
![Page 13: Chapter 26 – Phylogeny & the Tree of Life](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081422/56816109550346895dd05386/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A paraphyletic grouping consists of an ancestral species and some, but not all, of the descendants
![Page 14: Chapter 26 – Phylogeny & the Tree of Life](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081422/56816109550346895dd05386/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A polyphyletic grouping consists of various species that lack a common ancestor
![Page 15: Chapter 26 – Phylogeny & the Tree of Life](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081422/56816109550346895dd05386/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
26.4
The rate of evolution in DNA sequences varies from one part of the genome to another
By comparing the different sequences, one can investigate relationships between groups of organisms that diverged a long time ago
![Page 16: Chapter 26 – Phylogeny & the Tree of Life](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081422/56816109550346895dd05386/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
DNA that codes for mitochondrial DNA evolves rapidly Used to explore recent events
DNA that codes for ribosomal RNA changes relatively slowly Useful for investigating relationships between
taxa that diverged hundreds of millions of years ago
![Page 17: Chapter 26 – Phylogeny & the Tree of Life](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081422/56816109550346895dd05386/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Molecular clocks Methods used to measure the absolute time of
evolutionary change Based on the observation that some genes
appear to evolve at constant rates
![Page 18: Chapter 26 – Phylogeny & the Tree of Life](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081422/56816109550346895dd05386/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Chapter 26 – Phylogeny & the Tree of Life](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081422/56816109550346895dd05386/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Difficulties of molecular clocks The molecular clock does not run as smoothly
as neutral theory predicts Irregularities result from natural selection in
which some DNA changes are favored over others
Estimates of evolutionary divergences older than the fossil record have a high degree of uncertainty
The use of multiple genes may improve estimates

26.6
New information continues to revise our understanding of the tree of life
Early taxonomists classified all species as either plants or animals
Later, five kingdoms were recognized: Monera (prokaryotes), Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia
More recently, the three-domain system has been adopted: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya
The three-domain system is supported by data from many sequenced genomes
