TRANSCRIPT
Classification Section 18.2 & 18.3
Phylogeny:
• Evolutionary relationships among organisms
• Biologists group organisms into categories that represent lines of evolutionary descent, not just physical similarities.
• The strategy of grouping organisms together based on their evolutionary history is called evolutionary classification
Linnaean System vs. Evolutionary System of
Classification• KPCOFGS came way before
scientists understood that organisms evolved.
• The Phylogenic (Evolutionary) System names only clades
•Clades are groups of organisms that are all descended from a common ancestor
Cladogram
Tree of Life
Five Kingdoms of Classification• Linnaeus – 2 Kingdoms (Animals
and PlantsLED TO: 1. Protista2. Fungi3. Monera4. Plantae5. Animalia
Recent Years:
Six Kingdoms:1. Eubacteria2. Archaebacteria3. Protista4. Fungi5. Plantae6. Animalia
TODAY = 3 Domain SystemDomains:1. Eukarya (protists, fungi, plants,
animals) (uni and multicellular/eukaryotic)
2. Bacteria (unicellular/prokaryotic)
3. Archae (unicellular/prokaryotic)So what is the difference between
2 &3?

CLASSIFICATION REVIEW
BIOLOGY 112
1. Why do Biologists assign each organism a universally accepted name?
• To provide consistency and avoid confusion
What criteria are used to classify an organism?Evolutionary relationships as well
as structural similarities of the organism
What features of Binomial Nomenclature make it useful for scientists?• Each name is unique. Each
scientific name (genus, species) is assigned to only 1 species, so different species are not confused
Sequence Linnaeus’s seven taxonomic categories from smallest to largest:
• Species, genus, family, order, class, phylum and Kingdom
Explain the goal of evolutionary classification:• Group organisms based on their
evolutionary history instead of grouping only according to physical similarities
How is a Cladogram used in classification?• It is an attempt to trace the
process of evolution in a group of organisms by focusing on unique shared derived features that appear in some organisms but not others
How Do Biologists use DNA and RNA to Classify Organisms?• They choose segments that are
similar in all or many organisms and compare sequences within those molecules. The more similar between species, the closer the evolutionary relationships.
What is Phylogeny?
• Study of evolutionary relationships among organisms
Describe how a Molecular Clock is used to Estimate the Length of Tie that Two Related Species Have Been Evolving Independently:
• Relies on a repeating process or MUTATION, and a comparison of DNA sequences in two species to see how alike or dissimilar the genes are.
• The degree of dissimilarity is, in turn, an indication of how long ago the species shared a common ancestor
How do Domains and Kingdoms Differ?• A domain is more inclusive and
larger than a kingdom
What characteristics are used to place an organism in the domain Bacteria?• Unicellular and Prokaryotic• Cell walls contain peptidoglycan
Which domain consists of prokaryotes whose cell walls lack peptidoglycan?
• Kingdom Archaea
Describe the 4 Kingdoms that comprise the Domain Eukarya:• Protists, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
What characteristic(s) differentiate the kingdom Animalia from Plantae?• Unlike members of the Plantae
kingdom, members of the Animalia kingdom are heterotrophic, do not have cell walls, and are motile.
