Study Notes
Taxonomic Hierarchy
- The taxonomic hierarchy consists of eight levels: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
Classification and Taxonomy
- Organisms are grouped into a hierarchy of categories based on similarities and distinct characteristics.
Dichotomous Key
- A dichotomous key is constructed and used to identify organisms.
Taxonomic Terms
- Characterization refers to the process of assigning features or attributes to a taxon.
Species Definition
- A species is defined as a group of living organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
Nomenclature Purpose
- The purpose of nomenclature in taxonomy is to provide a standardized system for naming and identifying organisms.
Classification System Purpose
- The purpose of a classification system is to group organisms into categories based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships.
Hybrid Definition
- A hybrid is the offspring of two different species or genera.
Three Domain System
- The three domains in the three domain system are Domain Eukarya, Domain Archaea, and Domain Bacteria (TRUE).
Kingdom Animalia
- The Kingdom Animalia belongs to the Domain Eukarya (TRUE).
Dichotomous Key Characteristics
- A dichotomous key offers two or more choices for each step in identifying an organism (FALSE).
