1. The document discusses the history and development of taxonomy, the classification of living things. It describes early systems by Aristotle and Linnaeus and the modern five-kingdom system.
2. Carolus Linnaeus developed the binomial nomenclature system using Latin names, consisting of genus and species, which is still used today.
3. Modern taxonomy is based on multiple lines of evidence including morphology, fossils, embryology, chromosomes, and biomolecules to classify organisms and show their evolutionary relationships.
7. _______________
Branch of biology that names and
groups organisms according to
their:
TAXONOMY
1. CHARACTERISTICS
2. EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY
8. The first person to
group or classify
organisms was
the Greek teacher
& philosopher
more than 2000 years
ago.
(300 B.C.)
ARISTOTLE

11. 1. Not all organisms fit into
Aristotle’s 2 groups
(plants or animals)
Bacteria Mushroom

12. 2. Common names can be misleading
Sea cucumber
sounds like a plant
but… it’s an animal!
A jelly fish isn’t a fish,
but a seahorse is!

13. 3. Common names vary from
place to place
Ex: puma,
catamount,
mountain lion,
cougar
are all names
for same animal

14. 4. Same organisms have
different names in different
countries.
Chipmunk
Streifenhornchen
(German)
Tamia (Italian)
Ardilla listada
(Spanish)

15.
16. Some early scientists devised
scientific names using long
descriptions in LATIN.
RED OAK
Quercus foliis obtuse-sinuatis
setaceo-mucronatis
“oak with leaves with deep blunt lobes
bearing hairlike bristles”
18. Names too hard too long to remember!
Names don’t show relationships
between different animals or plants.
19. Carolus Linnaeus
comes to the rescue!
Devised a new
classification
system based on

(1707-1778)
MORPHOLOGY

20. Linnaeus’s System
Grouped in a
_____________
of 7 different levels
Each organism has a two
part LATIN

NOMENCLATURE

29. MODERN TAXONOMY
Fossil record
Morphology
Scientists use different kinds of info
to classify organisms:
1.______________________
2.______________________
3.______________________
4.______________________
5.______________________
Embryology
Chromosomes
Macromolecules (DNA & proteins)
30. 1. FOSSIL RECORD
We can trace some changes
over time through the fossil record.

31. 2. MORPHOLOGY
Shape and Function

32. MORPHOLOGY
_________________ characteristics:
same embryological origin
(may have similar structure and
function)
e.g: __________________________
HOMOLOGOUS
Homologous characteristics
suggest a
_____________________.
Bat wing & human arm
Recent common ancestor
33. Bat wing
and human arm
develop from
same embryonic
structures
HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES

34. MORPHOLOGY
ANALOGOUS______________ characteristics:
may have similar structure & function
but different embryological origin
e.g: _______________________Bird wing & butterfly wing
ANALOGOUS characteristics
evolved separately.
Organisms ________________________.NOT CLOSELY RELATED
35. Bird wing and
butterfly wing
have evolved with
similar function
BUT
different structure
inside.
Insects and birds
NOT closely related!

36. 3. EMBRYOLOGY
Image from: http://calspace.ucsd.edu/virtualmuseum/litu/03_3.shtml
Animals whose embryos develop
in a similar pattern may be related
37. 4. CHROMOSOMES
Similar karyotypes suggest closer relationships.

Compare molecules like

Organisms with similar
sequences are
probably more closely related.

40. So what do we use
now?
____________-

51. 6. Scientists use the ff. kinds of info to
classify organisms: Fossil Records,
Morphology, Embryology, and based
on its Chromosomes and based on its
micromolecules. ________ ________
52. 7. Carolus Linnaeus was the first
person to classify and name
organisms. ______________
53. 8. When writing scientific names, the
genus name should always be
capitalized. ____________
54. 9. EVOLUTION is a process by which
living organism have come to be what
they are, structurally and functionally.
____________
55. 10. The six modern classification of
organism are the ff: Monera, Animalia,
Fungi, Protista, and plantae.
