Document Summary

Slide 2: systematic is the study of the diversity of life and evolutionary relationships. Slide 3: systematics gives you information about organisms. Slide 4: knowing an organism"s identity & evolutionary lineage can be crucial: e. g. treatment and venomous animals. Slides 5: taxonomy identification and naming of spices. Classification: arrangement of organism into hierarchical based on similarity and different or evolutionary relationship. Slide 6: binomial nomenclature: specific latin name for each organism. Taxonomic hierarchy: arrange organism into hierarchy of increasingly inclusive categories. Slide 8: it"s a way to organize life. Slide 9: classification system only based on evolutionary relatedness. Slide 10: ancestral traits: old forms of traits, found in the ancestors. Derived traits found in only a subset or organism. All organism are expected to show a misuse of these traits. Ancestral character are the that are inherited from a common ancestor. But it can"t tell u much the evolution relation within that group. for those u need derived characters.
