2.1 Classification And Biodiversity Flashcards
(7 cards)
Three domains
Eubacteria - bacteria - E.coli
Eukaryota - plantae fungi animalia and protoctista
Archea - bacteria
5 kingdoms
Animalia - multicellular eukaryotes
Heterotrophic. No cell wall
Plantae - Multicellular eukaryotes. Photosynthetic. Cellulose cell walls
Protoctista - eukaryotic singled cells
Fungi - heterotrophic eukaryotes cell wall made up of chitin
Prokaryote - bacteria single celled and no membrane bound organelles
Homologous structures
Have a similar arrangement of component parts and similar developmental origin but different functions
Analogous structures
Have a corresponding function but different developmental origins
DNA base sequence
Closely related organisms share more similarity in their DNA than those distantly related
Hybridisation
Comparing the DNA base sequence of two species
Amino acid sequencing
The sequence of amino acids is determined by the DNA base sequence.
The more similar the sequence of amino acid the more closely related the organisms are.
