test taxonomy key to organization
the currently used binomial nomenclature was developed by
Linnaeus
when a system of classification is based on observation of predetermined set of factors it is called
an artificial system
species
are defined according to reproductive isolation and morphology
the classification of species by morphology involve
colors, shape, structure, and physical traits
systems of taxonomy have been established according to the notion of
common ancestry and similarities of different species
the biblical concepts concerning creation
conform to established scientific laws
Taxonomy is a rigorous, objective science.
false
a kingdom may be subdivided into only one phylum
false
one of the main problems of finding a better system of taxonomy is the shortage of kinds of plants and animals to identify
false
kind
group of organisms with similar characeristics
a sorting device that is useful in classifying by observation is a
key
one of the needs of todays taxonomy is
more information
which of the two methods for determining the species taxon would involve greater subjectivity
morphology
in binomial nomenclature the genus functions as a________ and the species functions as a_________
noun and adjective
a division is always associated with
plants
the taxon species may be defined by the following two concepts
reproductive isolation and morphology
interpretations based upon emotions or opinion are considered
subjective
taxonomy
the science of classification
Aristotle classified animals into those with red blood cells and those with non red blood cells
true
Plants are living organisms.
true
a system of evolutionary taxonomy is structure on the premise of no plan purpose or design regarding the development of organisms
true
all living things depend upon a generic code for reproduction
true
an example of parallel choices in a key is A. flower color is red AA. flower color is blue
true
in ancient times people classified plants and animals by use
true
objective evidence is available to weigh the pros and cons of origin models
true
the created kinds like species is not easy to define
true
binomial nomenclature
two named system that includes Genus and species
the first use of using two words as a scientific name
was introduced during the renaissance
observations from plant breeding and animal husbandry over thousands of years has shown
A. variations are limited to the confines of a particular taxon AA. observable changes from one basic kind into another have never been documented
a good example of an artificial system of classification is
a dictionary
population
a group of organisms living in an area
taxonomy is
a very old science
