NOTE: This lab assignment has questions related to binomial nomenclature. Please note that the assessment system does not accept formatted text, so you will need to indicate any italicized words by adding Γ’Β€ΒœITҀ in parentheses after each word that is to be written in italics, (IT). For example, the common fruit fly is genus Drosphila and species melanogaster. When written, it is Drosophila melanogaster. From this example, the correct way to represent the italicized words is by typing, Drosphila (IT) melanogaster (IT).

Record the classes for each of the following arthropods, as determined from the dichotomous key (16 points): Organism 1 (Spider) Organism 2 (Bee) Organism 3 (Beetle) Organism 4 (Blue crab) Organism 5 (Crayfish) Organism 6 (Tick) Organism 7 (Fiddler crab) Organism 8 (Centipede) Organism 9 (Shrimp) Organism 10 (Millipede) Organism 11 (Wasp) Organism 12 (Grasshopper) Organism 13 (Horseshoe Crab) Organism 14 (Mole Crab) Organism 15 (Scorpion) Organism 16 (Squilla) Provide the family name for each shark based on the use of the dichotomous key provided (14 points): Shark 1 Shark 2 Shark 3 Shark 4 Shark 5 Shark 6 Shark 7 Shark 8 Shark 9 Shark 10 Shark 11 Shark 12 Shark 13 Shark 14 Submit the dichotomous key for the "imaginary" animals. (10 points) When might a prepared key be used to identify biological organisms? (5 points) Why are there only two choices for each step in the dichotomous key? (3 points) Why are observation skills important when working with dichotomous keys? (5 points) List the domain, kingdom, phylum, subphylum, class, order, family, genus, and species of humans.

(4 points) It is estimated that there are more than 1 million species of insects on this planet. Based on this and information gained from this laboratory, what phylum most likely comprises over 90% of the Earth's species? Briefly justify your answer. (4 points) Scorpions and spiders both belong to the same class called Arachnida. Birds and fish both belong to the phylum Chordata. Which two organisms are more closely related? Explain why. (5 points) Using the evolutionary distances from the protein sequences activity (Step 4 of the procedures), fill in the diagram below. The letters should correspond with the sequence numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5). (5 points) A B C D E

You have been chosen to join a team of scientists investigating the arrival of a space probe from an unknown planet. The denizens of this planet sent along some representative organisms. Genetic studies reveal that one of the organisms has three separate sets of DNA. Explain these findings in light of your knowledge of genetics.

a

This organism is may have evolved three sets of DNA through endosymbiotic events much like plants did to have nuclear, mitochondrial, and chloroplast DNAs.
b

This organism is not likely to be aneuploid because all members of its species also have three sets of chromosomes

c

 This organism could be a polyploid but only if all three sets or DNA consist of homologous chromosomes.

d

 All of the above are good explanations of these findings.

One of the interesting things about using the Linnaean taxonomic system for classification of organisms is how little it has changed over the years. It has expanded from 2 kingdoms to 6 and it has added the higher level of domain but very few organisms have had to be moved from one classification to another. That is because Linnaeus based his classification on physiology. Today most taxonomists classify organisms based on molecular biology. In other words, they use DNA to decide which group and organism should be put into. Since the physiology of an organism depends on its DNA, almost no organisms have been moved.
Can anyone find an example of an organism that was reclassified based on its DNA?
