Q

The subfield of taxonomy that deals with the proper naming of organisms refers to

A

nomenclature.

20
Q

system uses two names to refer to a species. Each species has its own unique binomial name.

A

Binomial Nomenclature

21
Q

is a set of rules that are followed in properly naming organisms.

22
Q

taxonomy descriptions

A

morphology, behavior, and genetic data.

23
Q

Evidence

A

Morphological
Developmental
Genetic
Physiological

24
refer to the set of physical features of living organisms. These can be external or internal ------- features that are useful for the classification of organisms.
Morphological traits
25
refer to the set of features that can be used for the classification of organisms. traits are characters that can be observed in living organisms during particular stages of their embryonic development.
Developmental traits
26
are mainly focused on the functional features of the structures. Taxonomists usually observe these traits as they can be useful in constructing convergent evolutionary parts among distantly related organisms.
Physiological Traits
27
refer to specific sequences of the DNA molecule in organisms. The use of genetic sequences in comparing the similarities and differences of organisms is highly useful in delineating organisms until the species or even until the subspecies level.
Genetic Traits
