According to the rules of binomial nomenclature, which of the terms is capitalized?
  • species in its genus
  • the genus name only
  • They tend to be shorter
  • cladistic analysis
What kind of analysis focuses on the order in which derived characters appeared in organisms?
  • species in its genus
  • the genus name only
  • cladistic analysis
  • They tend to be shorter
In Linnaeus's system of classification, how many levels are there?
  • taxa
  • phylum and kingdom
  • 7
  • ancestor and all its descendants
The second part of a scientific name is unique to each
  • species in its genus
  • a single species
  • species
  • the genus name only
In an evolutionary classification scheme, species within one genus should
  • be more closely related to one another than they are to species in other genera
  • common names
  • can apply to more than one animal
  • visible similarities and differences
In evolutionary classification, a monophyletic group includes one
  • phylum and kingdom
  • evolutionary classification
  • ancestor and all its descendants
  • taxa
A genus is composed of
  • a single species
  • can apply to more than one animal
  • a number of similar species
  • evolutionary classification
One reason common names are not useful to biologists is that they
  • a description of a trait or habitat
  • can apply to more than one animal
  • visible similarities and differences
  • evolutionary classification
Several different classes make up a
  • Mammalia
  • species
  • phylum
  • common names
Which two are the highest level taxa in the Linnaean system?
  • ancestor and all its descendants
  • species in its genus
  • taxa
  • phylum and kingdom
Linnaean classification involves
  • can apply to more than one animal
  • a description of a trait or habitat
  • the science of naming and grouping organisms
  • both small and large categories of organisms
At any level of organization, groups that have biological meaning are referred to as
  • taxa
  • ancestor and all its descendants
  • Mammalia
  • phylum and kingdom
Traditional classification tended to take into account primarily
  • can apply to more than one animal
  • species in its genus
  • a single species
  • visible similarities and differences
Based on their names, you know that the baboons Papio annubis and Papio cynocephalus do NOT belong to the same
  • Mammalia
  • species in its genus
  • species
  • phylum
The grouping of organisms based on their common descent is called
  • evolutionary classification
  • species in its genus
  • They tend to be shorter
  • can apply to more than one animal
Animals that are warm-blooded, have body hair, and produce milk for their young are grouped in the class
  • Mammalia
  • species
  • common names
  • cladistic analysis
