  1. TaxonomyCh. 18.2 (p.342-346) Phylogeny = evolutionary history of an organism; • Classification is based on evolutionary relationships Phylogenetic tree = a family tree that shows evolutionary relationships • Fossil record • Morphology (body parts and shapes) • DNA, RNA Have you heard the term “morph” before? Relate it to the scientific definition.

  2. TaxonomyCh. 18.2 (p.342-346) What does a branch point represent between 2 evolutionary lines?

  3. TaxonomyCh. 18.2 (p.342-346) Is the wolf more closely related to the badgeror the leopard?

  4. TaxonomyCh. 18.2 (p.342-346) Is a tuna fish more closely related to a shark or a human?

  5. TaxonomyCh. 18.2 (p.342-346) Is a tuna fish more closely related to a shark or a human? A human. It does not about distance it is about common ancestor.

  6. TaxonomyCh. 18.2 (p.342-346) Cladogram = phylogenetic tree that branches at common shared characteristics. • Implies a common ancestor • Clade = group with shared characteristic • Birds have… • Mammals have… • Insects have…
