This chapter explain the justification for taxonomy based on a PhyloCode; explain the importance of distinguishing between homology and analogy; distinguish between the following terms: monophyletic, paraphyletic, and polyphyletic groups; shared ancestral and shared derived characters; orthologous and paralogous genes; define horizontal gene transfer and explain how it complicates phylogenetic trees. | Contrast adaptive radiation vs. convergent evolution? Give an example of each. What is the correct sequence from the most comprehensive to least comprehensive taxon? In a population of 500 rabbits, 320 are homozygous dominant for brown coat color (BB), 160 are heterozygous (Bb), and 20 are homozygous white (bb). What are the frequencies of the alleles (B and b)? What are the frequencies of the different genotypes (BB, Bb, and bb)? Chapter 26 Phylogeny and the Tree of Life What you need to know: The taxonomic categories and how they indicate relatedness. How systematics is used to develop phylogenetic trees. The three domains of life including their similarities and their differences. Systematics Taxonomy (classification) Phylogenetics (evolutionary history) Systematics: classifying organisms and determining their evolutionary relationships Tools used to determine evolutionary relationships: Fossils Morphology (homologous structures) Molecular evidence (DNA, amino acids) Animals and fungi are more closely related than either is to plants. Who is more closely related? Taxonomy: science of classifying and naming organisms Binomial nomenclature (Genus species) Naming system developed by Carolus Linnaeus. REMEMBER!!
