| How can you Classify something? | -You have to look at the Similarities and Differences between the Organisms |
| What does Artificial Classification use? | This simply only uses Observable Features, to Classify Organisms
-Some examples may be if they can Fly, Lay eggs, or Walk
-This creates a System called an Artificial Classification System, which is good for a Start, but isn't the Best Way to Classify |
| What does Natural Classification use? | -This type of Classification looks at the organisms Common Ancestors, and their Common Structural Features to sort the Organisms
-An example can be Humans and Bats. Visually, its very different but the Bone Structure of a Bat's Wing is similar to a Human Hand |
| In a Natural Classification System, what is used to Divide Living things? | -Kingdom [Plant, Animal...]
-Phylum
-Class
-Order
-Family
-Genus
-Species [One type of Organism that is Similar, which means it can make Fertile Offspring-- Babies] |
| How can the Improvement of Technology help with Classifying Organisms? | -The Microscope, for example, helped Scientists to Classify Organisms due to it allowing to see the Structure of the Organism with more Detail
-DNA Sequencing is used in Molecular Phylogenetic to see how really Related Organism are. They do this by seeing the Sequence of the DNA Bases, and Comparing it with other Species.
-More Similarity equals more Closely Related
-Simply, Better Technology = Better Classification Systems |
| What does Phylogenetics mean? | -This simply means looking at the Evolutionary History of Groups of Organisms; the Past really |
