  1. Classification and Diversity Chapter 17

  2. 17-1 The Linnaean System of Classification

  3. KEY CONCEPT Organisms can be classified based on physical similarities.

  4. vocabulary • Taxonomy • Taxon • Binomial nomenclature • genus

  5. Linnaeus developed the scientific naming system still used today. • Taxonomy is the science of naming and classifying organisms. White oak:Quercus alba • A taxon is a group of organisms in a classification system.

  6. Linnaean taxonomy classifies organism based on their physical and structural similarities • Organisms are placed into different levels in a hierarchy

  7. uses Latin words • scientific names always written in italics (underline if written) • two parts are the genus name and species descriptor • Binomial nomenclature is a two-part scientific naming system.

  8. A genus includes one or more physically similar species. • Species in the same genus are thought to be closely related. • Genus name is always capitalized. • A species descriptor is the second part of a scientific name. • always lowercase • always follows genusname; never written alone Tyto alba

  9. Scientific names help scientists to communicate. • Some species have very similar common names. • Some species have many common names.

  10. Linnaeus’ classification system has seven levels. • Each level is included in the level above it. • Levels get increasingly specific from kingdom to species.

  11. The Linnaean classification system has limitations. • Linnaeus taxonomy doesn’t account for molecular evidence. • The technology didn’t exist during Linneaus’ time. • Linnaean system based only on physical similarities.

  12. Physical similarities are not always the result of close relationships. • Genetic similarities more accurately show evolutionary relationships.

  13. 17-2 Classification Based on Evolutionary Relationships

  14. KEY CONCEPT Modern classification is based on evolutionary relationships.

  15. vocabulary • Phylogeny • Cladistics • Cladogram • Derived character

  16. Cladistics is classification based on common ancestry. • Phylogeny is the evolutionary history for a group of species. • evidence from living species, fossil record, and molecular data • shown with branching tree diagrams

  17. classification based on common ancestry • species placed in order that they descended from common ancestor • Cladistics is a common method to make evolutionary trees.

  18. A cladogram is an evolutionary tree made using cladistics. • A clade is a group of species that shares a common ancestor. • Each species in a clade shares some traits with the ancestor. • Each species in a clade has traits that have changed.

  19. 1 Tetrapoda clade 2 Amniota clade 3 Reptilia clade 4 Diapsida clade 5 Archosauria clade FEATHERS & TOOTHLESS BEAKS. SKULL OPENINGS IN FRONT OF THE EYE & IN THE JAW OPENING IN THE SIDE OF THE SKULL SKULL OPENINGS BEHIND THE EYE EMBRYO PROTECTED BY AMNIOTIC FLUID FOUR LIMBS WITH DIGITS DERIVED CHARACTER • Derived characters are traits shared in different degrees by clade members. • basis of arranging species in cladogram • more closely related species share more derived characters • represented on cladogram as hash marks

  20. CLADE 1 Tetrapoda clade 2 Amniota clade 3 Reptilia clade 4 Diapsida clade 5 Archosauria clade NODE FOUR LIMBS WITH DIGITS DERIVED CHARACTER • Nodes represent the most recent common ancestor of a clade. • Clades can be identified by snipping a branch under a node.

  21. Molecular evidence reveals species’ relatedness. • Molecular data may confirm classification based on physical similarities. • Molecular data may lead scientists to propose a new classification. • DNA is usually given the last word by scientists.

  22. KEY CONCEPT Molecular clocks provide clues to evolutionary history.

  23. Mutations add up at a fairly constant rate in the DNA of species that evolved from a common ancestor. Ten million years later— one mutation in each lineage Another ten million years later— one more mutation in each lineage Molecular clocks use mutations to estimate evolutionary time. • Mutations add up at a constant rate in related species. • This rate is the ticking of the molecular clock. • As more time passes, there will be more mutations. The DNA sequences from two descendant species show mutations that have accumulated (black). The mutation rate of this sequence equals one mutation per ten million years. DNA sequence from a hypothetical ancestor

  24. an event known to separate species • the first appearance of a species in fossil record • Scientists estimate mutation rates by linking molecular data and real time.

  25. Mitochondrial DNA and ribosomal RNA provide two types of molecular clocks. • Different molecules have different mutation rates. • higher rate, better for studying closely related species • lower rate, better for studying distantly related species

  26. grandparents mitochondrial DNA nuclear DNA parents Mitochondrial DNA is passed down only from the mother of each generation,so it is not subject to recombination. child Nuclear DNA is inherited from both parents, making it more difficult to trace back through generations. • Mitochondrial DNA is used to study closely related species. • mutation rate ten times faster than nuclear DNA • passed down unshuffled from mother to offspring

  27. Ribosomal RNA is used to study distantly related species. • many conservative regions • lower mutation rate than most DNA

  28. Domains and Kingdoms

  29. KEY CONCEPT The current tree of life has three domains.

  30. vocabulary • Bacteria • Archaea • Eukarya

  31. Plantae Animalia Classification is always a work in progress. • The tree of life shows our most current understanding. • New discoveries can lead to changes in classification. • Until 1866: only two kingdoms,Animalia and Plantae

  32. Protista Classification is always a work in progress. • The tree of life shows our most current understanding. • New discoveries can lead to changes in classification. • Until 1866: only two kingdoms,Animalia and Plantae Plantae Animalia • 1866: all single-celled organisms moved to kingdom Protista

  33. Plantae Animalia Protista Monera Classification is always a work in progress. • The tree of life shows our most current understanding. • New discoveries can lead to changes in classification. • Until 1866: only two kingdoms,Animalia and Plantae • 1866: all single-celled organisms moved to kingdom Protista • 1938: prokaryotes moved to kingdom Monera

  34. Plantae Animalia Protista Fungi Classification is always a work in progress. • The tree of life shows our most current understanding. • New discoveries can lead to changes in classification. • Until 1866: only two kingdoms,Animalia and Plantae • 1866: all single-celled organisms moved to kingdom Protista • 1938: prokaryotes moved to kingdom Monera • 1959: fungi moved to own kingdom Monera

  35. Plantae Animalia Protista Archea Bacteria Fungi Classification is always a work in progress. • The tree of life shows our most current understanding. • New discoveries can lead to changes in classification. • Until 1866: only two kingdoms,Animalia and Plantae • 1866: all single-celled organisms moved to kingdom Protista • 1938: prokaryotes moved to kingdom Monera • 1959: fungi moved to own kingdom • 1977: kingdom Monerasplit into kingdoms Bacteria and Archaea

  36. The three domains in the tree of life are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. • Domains are above the kingdom level. • proposed by Carl Woese based on rRNA studies of prokaryotes • domain model more clearly shows prokaryotic diversity

  37. Domain Bacteria includes prokaryotes in the kingdom Bacteria. • one of largest groups on Earth • classified by shape, need for oxygen, and diseases caused

  38. Prokaryotes • unicellular • Anaerobic and aerobic • Some are photosynthetic or chemosynthetic • Reproduce asexually • About 5,000 known species, probably many unknown

  39. Borrelia burgdorferi Staphylococcus

  40. Domain Archaea includes prokaryotes in the kingdom Archaea. • cell walls chemically different from bacteria • Prokaryotes • Includes aerobic and anaerobic bacteria • Often live in extreme environments like high temperatures, high acidity, or high salt content • Asexual reproduction only

  41. fewer species than any other kingdom, less than 100 • Three broad groups of Archaebacteria

  42. Domain Eukarya includes all eukaryotes. • kingdom Protista

  43. Domain Eukarya includes all eukaryotes. • kingdom Protista • kingdom Plantae

  44. Domain Eukarya includes all eukaryotes. • kingdom Protista • kingdom Plantae • kingdom Fungi

  45. Domain Eukarya includes all eukaryotes. • kingdom Protista • kingdom Plantae • kingdom Fungi • kingdom Animalia
