- the science of classification
- toxonomy
- all organisms of a kind in an area
- population
- Linnaeus believed in
- fixity of species
- a group of organisms that are capable of reproducing more of that group
- kind
- the science of heredity (inheritance)
- genetics
- Taxonomy is the science of
- classification
- The first human taxonomist
- Adam
- One of the first Greek taxonomists who grouped animals by blood color and plants by size and shape
- Aristotle
- The "Father of Modern Taxonomy" is a name given to
- Linnaeaus
- Classification groupings today are made on the basis of how organisms are
- similiar and different
- T or F After its kind means reproduction of new kinds of living things.
- False
- herbs, shrubs, trees; red and nonred blood
- Aristotle
- medical and agricultural plants with fables
- Pliny
- one of first Renaissance scientists to use firsthand observations to write about plants
- Cordus
- grouped plants on similarities, idea of species
- Ray
- two-word, scientific names; Species Plantarum
- Linnaues
- Linnaeus' contributions to taxonomy were the "blank" system for easier"blank"
- binomial, classification
- God introduced the concepts that would lead to the science of taxonomy by commanding Adam to
- name animals
- Moses wrote down the concepts with the authority and inspiration of
- God
- Taxonomy is the key to organization because it is the science that brings "blank and blank" to the puzzle of God's creation
- order and meaning
- When Genesis speaks of the genetic principle of parents producing offspring like themselves, it uses the phrase
- after its kind
- Theophrastos was considered the "Father of Botany" as early as
- 300 B.C.
- Linnaeus' concept of kinds differed from ours today in holding that:
- variation doens't exsist
- The concept of "fixity of species" was a common belief based on a very limited understanding of
- the phrase " after it's kind"
- The lesson listed several disciplines that relate to taxonomy. List two of them
- botany, zoologology
- When Moses recorded
- Genesis
- T or F John Ray introduced a new method of grouping by similarities in appearance.
- true
- Aristotle contributed to the science of taxonomy when he classified animals in ""blank groups and plants in "blank" groups
- 2 3
- An ideal taxonomic system is not easy to develop because:
- there is a multitude os possible schemes
- The accelerated growth and advances in taxonomy as a science occurred during:
- the renaissance
- One of the first scientists of the Renaissance to advance taxonomy through first hand observations
- Velerius Cordus
- The first use of using two words as a scientific name:
- was introduced during the renaissance
- The concept of the "species" is credited to
- John Ray
- The Swedish botanist who made the greatest contributions to taxonomy was , who is known as the
- Linnaeus, Father of Modern Taxonomy
- Linnaeus was able to replace the earlier complex classifications by introducing the blank system. In addition he classified plants according to their blank structures.
- binomial, flower
- The feature most significant to plant classification in the Linnaeum system was the
- stamen number
- The beginning of modern taxonomy
- 1700's
- The current understanding of created "kinds" is:
- related to higher taxonomic orders
- The two-name system of naming living things used in classification
- binomial nomenclature
- A taxonomic category containing a group of similar orders
- class
- In plant classification, a grouping of similar classes
- division
- An elaborate set of rules for naming organisms
- Int Code of Nomenclature
- The largest taxonomic category
- kingdom
- A taxonomic category containing a group of similar families
- order
- classification (other than plant), a grouping of similar classes
- phylum
- The categories used in classifying plants and animals
- taxon
- Interpretations based upon emotions or opinion are considered:
- subjective
- Where in the Bible are the differences between plants, animals, and humans stated?
- Genesis 1
- Common names given to organisms may be useful locally, but may become meaningless on a "blank" basis
- global
- The currently used binomial nomenclature was developed by
- Linnaeus
- In binomial nomenclature the genus functions as a(n) and the species functions as a(n)
- noun, adjective
- The rankings of Class, Order, and Family are referred to as:
- taxa
- An "Order" may be subdivided into (consist of) several:
- families
- We can sometimes determine which scientist named any particular living thing because his abbreviated name
- follows the species name
- Order of Taxa
- K,P(D),C,O,F,G,S
- The form or appearance of an organism
- morphology
- The separation of organisms by some type of barrier
- reproductive isolation
- with bias
- subjective
- The lowest rank of taxa
- species
- The taxon "species" may be defined by the following two concepts
- morphology, reproduction
- Which of the two methods for determining the species taxon would involve greater subjectivity?
- morphology
- The two basic concepts of species are both dependent upon the genetic
- code
- The concept of reproductive isolation relates more toward genetic
- differences
- If you were to classify the many breeds of dogs by morphology, what would be inferred regarding species?
- numerous varieties would be considered one distinct species
- Subdivisions within a species are called
- races
- What is the genus of the popular fossils which are similar to "Lucy"?
- Austropithes
- Computerized analysis of the "Lucy" type fossil has:
- hepled add objectivity to fossil taxa
- Current use of modern tools, such as have made classification more objective.
- computers
- A group of organisms which has been reclassified is:
- Canis Familiaris
- The way a plant looks
- morphology
