Document Summary
Biology 1202 exam 2 lecture notes (channel 42) Unit 5: the evolutionary history of biological diversity. Chapter 26: phylogeny and the tree of life. Phylogeny: the evolutionary history of a species or group of related species. Systematics: an analytical approach to understanding the diversity and relationships of organisms. Taxonomy: the ordered division of organisms into categories based on a set of characteristics used to assess similarities and differences. The two part format of the scientific name of an organism. The binomial name consists of: genus and species, these are always written in a different font (e. g. , italics, e. g. , homo sapiens. Linnaeus also introduces the system form grouping species in increasingly broad categories. Kindly professors cannot often fail good students: kingdom phylum class order family genus species, figure 26. 3: hierarchical classification. Systematists depict evolutionary relationships in branching phylogenetic trees. Each branch point (node) represents the divergence of two species. Deep branch points represent greater amount of divergence.
