There are 8 taxa in the modern system of classification. This modern system began with the work of arolus Linnaeus in Linnaeus based his classification of species solely on shared characteristics. Scientists have refined this system using molecular homologies and N evidence.

3 The igger Picture Think about classification in this way... the country is divided into states, states into counties, counties into towns, towns into streets, and streets into individual houses. Slide 7 / 92 People living in the same house have more in common than people on the same street. People on the same street have more in common than people in the same town. People in the same town have more in common than people in the same county. People in the same county have more in common than people in the same state. People in the same state have more in common that people in the same country.

Organisms of the same genus have more in common than organisms of the same family. Organisms of the same family have more in common than organisms of the same order. Organisms of the same order have more in common than organisms of the same class. Organisms of the same class have more in common than organisms of the phylum. Organisms of the same phylum have more in common than organisms of the same kingdom. Organisms of the same kingdom have more in common than organisms of the same domain. 1 Which of these groupings has the most in common?

7 We are Homo sapiens Slide 15 / 92 Why are we given this special name? inomial Nomenclature Slide 16 / 92 inomial nomenclature is the formal system of naming a species. Each species' name includes the organism's genus and a species epithet to identify it. ommon Name Genus species epithet dog anis familiaris Wolf anis lupis Sugar Maple Tree cer sacchaum Human Rules for Naming Slide 17 / 92 Homo sapiens 1. The first letter of the genus is always capitalized. 2. The first letter of the species epithet is never capitalized. 3. The whole name is italicized. oth the genus and species epithet together are referred to as the name of the species. We are never just called sapiens.

Example of a Mammalian Phylogeny

10 Phylogenetic Trees Slide 22 / 92 Phylogenetic trees are used to show relatedness among organisms. ranches separate organisms based on traits they have in common. iologists use two methods to place organisms on the phylogenetic tree: - morphological similarities (similarities in body structure and embryonic development) - molecular similarities (similarities in N, RN, and proteins) Phylogenetic trees are constantly changing to fit in the new information that scientists learn. 7Which of the following is NOT used to create a phylogenetic tree?

These 3 domains are: omain acteria omain rchaea Eukarya omain Eukarya acteria rchaea ommon ncestor

14 omain acteria Slide 31 / 92 omain acteria consists of prokaryotes and includes the bacteria most people are familiar with including both the the beneficial bacteria used to make yogurt as well as disease causing organisms such as E.coli O157:H7 omain acteria has only one kingdom, Eubacteria. Species in this kingdom are assigned to more discrete taxa based on their cell structures, methods of cellular metabolism, and other factors. Eubacteria acteria Eukarya rchaea ommon ncestor omain rchaea omain rchaea is also contains only prokaryotes. These prokaryotes share characteristics with both bacteria and eukaryotes. They differ from bacteria by a difference in their rrn base sequence and in the structure of their plasma membrane. Slide 32 / 92 omain rchaea contains organisms which live in places on Earth considered too volatile for other organisms such as very hot or salty environments. Eukarya rchaebacteria acteria rchaea ommon ncestor omain Eukarya omain Eukarya is made up of eukaryotes. They can be unicellular or multicellular. The cells all have a membrane bound nucleus and various organelles. This domain is broken into 4 kingdoms: - Protista - Fungi - Plantae - nimalia Fungi Eukarya nimalia Plantae Protista Slide 33 / 92 acteria rchaea ommon ncestor

Most are unicellular, but some (like algae) are multicellular. plasmodium Often they create colonies. slime mold Some are heterotrophs (getting energy from organic compounds) and some are phototrophs (getting energy from the sun). amoeba Slide 39 / 92 Kingdom Fungi Fungi are eukaryotic and nearly all fungi are multicellular. They have cell walls that contain chitin. Fungi are heterotrophs; they cannot make their own food as they lack chloroplasts. Species in this kingdom are assigned to phyla based on their sexual reproductive structures.

18 Kingdom Plantae Slide 40 / 92 Plants are multicellular, photosynthetic eukaryotes. Members of the Plantae kingdom are further grouped based on how they carry water: vascular and nonvascular. There are 3 non-vascular phyla and 9 vascular phyla. Kingdom nimalia Slide 41 / 92 nimals are eukaryotic, multicellular heterotrophs. There are 36 recognized animal phyla, of which 9 contain the vast majority of described, existing species. nimals are grouped into phyla based on the presence or absence of certain structures. 13Which kingdom(s) do Homo sapiens belong to?

21 Kingdom Plantae Slide 46 / 92 Return to Table of ontents Plant Phyla Slide 47 / 92 The plant kingdom is broken down into 12 phyla, based on the presence or absence of a vascular system, the presence/absence of seeds, and the presence/absence of flowers. 3 Non-Vascular Phyla - liverworts - mosses - hornworts 4 Vascular/Non-Seeded Phyla - whisk ferns - club mosses - horsetails - ferns 4 Vascular/Seeded Phyla - conifers - cycads - Ginko biloba - Gnetophyta 1 Vascular/Seeded/Flowering Phyla - all flowering plants Vascular Plants Slide 48 / 92 Vascular plants Non-vascular plants quatic plants The vascular plants contain specialized tissues, the xylem and the phloem for moving water and nutrients throughout the plant, much like the human circulatory system.

22 Vascular Tissues Slide 49 / 92 The xylem is mainly responsible for transporting water up from the roots. The phloem transports sugars (sap) from the leaves to parts of the plant that do not undergo photosynthesis such as the branches and roots. xylem in a stem ngiosperm Gymnosperm Seeded Plants In some vascular plants, fertilization results in the development of a seed. Seeds protect the plant embryo until conditions are right for development. Slide 50 / 92 Seeded plants Non-seeded plants Vascular plants Seeded, non-flowering plants are called gymnosperms. Flowering plants are called angiosperms. Gymnosperms vs. ngiosperms Slide 51 / 92 onifers eciduous Trees

23 ngiosperms Slide 52 / 92 ngiosperms have dominated the land for over 100 million years and there are about 250,000 known species. Most of our foods come from a few hundred domesticated species of flowering plants. Roughly 70% of angiosperms are polyploid. Monocot icot The angiosperms are broken down into 2 classes, the monocots and the dicots. ngiosperm Gymnosperm Seeded Plants Monocots and icots Slide 53 / 92 The term monocot and dicot refer to the first leaves that appear on the embryo of the plant, the cotyledon. Monocot icot Monocot has one cotyledon icot has two cotyledons Slide 54 / 92

30 ontinuing lassification Plants are further classified into families, orders, genus, and species based on additional adaptations and derived characteristics such as modified leaves, modified stems, and modified roots. modified stem Slide 67 / 92 modified leaf modified root Phylogeny Examples: Plantae Slide 68 / 92 Kingdom nimalia Slide 69 / 92 Return to Table of ontents

31 The Original ncestral nimal Slide 70 / 92 The animal kingdom probably evolved during the ambrian period, 540 million years ago. The earliest animal fossils are from the late Precambrian period, 600 million years ago. The ambrian Explosion Slide 71 / 92 t the beginning of the Paleozoic era, multicellular animals underwent an 'explosion' in diversity known as the 'ambrian explosion'. This artist's rendering, based on fossil evidence, of some of the bizarre life forms, now extinct, that emerged during this time. The ambrian Explosion Slide 72 / 92 ll animal body plans that exist today can be traced back with geologic and fossil data to ancestors of this time period. Over time natural selection, for one reason or another, favored some traits over others and today we are left with a small percentage of the body plans that existed in the ambrian period.

32 Phyla of the nimal Kingdom The animal kingdoms can be broken down into 36 phyla based on body symmetry and body cavities. Slide 73 / 92 Some of these phyla include: - Sponges - Jellyfish - Flatworms - Round Worms - Mollusks - Segmented Worms - rthropods - Echinoderms - hordates Jellyfish Sponges Segmented Worms rthropods hordates Mollusks Round Worms Flatworms Echinoderms nimalia Symmetry Slide 74 / 92 nimal bodies can either have radial symmetry or bilateral symmetry. Radial Symmetry is a common feature of simple animals. Radially symmetrical animals have all body parts radiating out from the center of the body. ilateral Symmetry is more commonly found in complex animals. ilateral animals show a right and left side 22Which of the following animals is radially symmetrical?

34 Slide 77 / 92 ody avities body cavity is a fluid-filled space that lies between the digestive tract and the body. There are 3 types of body cavities among animals. coelomates, such as the flatworm, have no body cavity. Pseudocoelomates, such as the roundworm, have a partiallylined body cavity. oelomates, such as the earthworm, have a fully-lined body cavity. coelomates Slide 78 / 92 Planarian coelomates have only a digestive cavity with no lining. Pseudocoelomates Slide 79 / 92 Pseudocoelomates have a partially lined body cavity with loosely holds the animals organs in place.

35 oelomates Slide 80 / 92 oelomates have a fully lined body cavity called a coelom which holds the animals organs in place. 24 Humans have which type of body plan? symmetrical acoelomate symmetrical coelomate bilateral psuedocoelomate bilateral coelomate Slide 81 / Humans have which type of body plan? symmetrical acoelomate symmetrical coelomate bilateral psuedocoelomate bilateral coelomate Slide 81 (nswer) / 92 nswer

36 Phylum: hordata Slide 82 / 92 Humans belong to the phylum chordata. ll chordates have a dorsal nerve cord and a post-anal tail at some time in their development. In humans, this dorsal nerve cord has evolved into the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). Phylogeny Examples: hordata Slide 83 / 92 Invertebrates vs. Vertebrates Slide 84 / 92 The phylum chordata contains the subphylum vertebrata, animals with a backbone. Most animals on Earth today are invertebrates (without a vertebral column). Of the 36 phyla there are in all the kingdoms 35 do not have a backbone.

37 Vertebrata lasses Slide 85 / 92 The subphylum vertebrata contains 5 classes of extant fishes and 4 classes of extant tetrapods (animals with 4 limbs) The 4 classes of tetrapods are: - mphibians - Reptiles - irds - Mammals Fishes irds mphibians Reptiles Mammals hordates 25 How many fish have trait?

40 Mammals Slide 90 / 92 Mammals are defined as endothermic (warm-blooded) animals which produce amniotic eggs, in which the fetus is surrounded by an amniotic membrane. Mammals are further classified into orders, families, genus and species based on derived characteristics. Humans belong to the order Primates, the family Hominidae, the genus Homo, and the species Homo sapiens. Phylogeny Example: Mammals Slide 91 / 92 Phylogeny Example: Hominids Slide 92 / 92
