  • Biol 2.1 Classification part2
    • 5 Kingdom System
      • Do ***** Penguins Come Over For Good Sex?
      • Kingdoms
        • Prokaryota, Protoctista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
      • Phylum- members of each phylum has a distinct body plan
        • Eg Chordata contain vertebrates.
      • Class
        • Mammalia within Chordata
      • Order
        • Lepidoptera contains butterflies and moths, part on insecta.
      • Family
        • Rose family, Rosaceae
      • Genus
        • Groups of similar organs eg. Panthera- lions and tigers.
      • Species
        • Group of organisms sharing lots of physical features & can interbred and produce fertile offspring.
    • Relatedness of Organisms
      • Theory of Evolution suggests that widely separated groups share a common ancestor.
        • They share the same basic features, similarities indicate relatedness.
      • Assessing relatedness with physical features.
        • Homologous Structures- Structures in diff. species with similar anatomical position and develop-mental origin, derived from common ancestor.
        • Pentadactyl limb- having 5 digits.
        • Analogous Structures- have corresponding function & have similar shape, but diff. develop-mental origin.
        • Evolution
          • Divergent- where a common ancestral structure has evolved & performs diff. functions.
          • Convergent- structures evolve similar properties but have diff. develop-mental origins
    • Assessing relatedness with genetic evidence.
      • DNA sequencing
        • Most closely related species have more similarities in DNA bas sequences. DNA analysis confirms evolutionary relationships,
      • DNA hybridisation
        • Comparing DNA base sequences of two species. DNA is extracted, separated & cut into fragments from both. Mix fragments, complementary base sequences will hybridise.
      • Amino acid sequences
        • These determine DNA base sequences. Degree of similarities shows relatedness
      • Immunology
        • Used to compare proteins. Mix the antigens of one species, eg blood protein albumin, with specific antibodies of another to make a precipitate. More precipitate, closer realtion.
    • Bionomial System
      • Advantages
        • Unambiguous names
        • Latin- universal language
        • Implies how closely related two things are.
      • Rules
        • 1. Two names, genus & species.
        • 2. Genus is always capitalised.
        • 3. 1st time write in full eg Panthera leo
        • 4. After, abbreviate, P. leo
        • 5. type in italics, write and underline
    • Species Concept
      • Morphological Definition
        • If two organisms look very similar they are likely to be the same species
          • Sexual Dimorphism- differences betw. male & female
      • Reproductive Definition
        • Two organisms of the same species can interbreed to make fertile offspring.
