What is the difference between flower genus and species?
A genus is the next higher taxon up from species. It is a group of closely related species.
How does evolution affect classification?
Modern classification, the field of cladistics, while still using morphological and genetic traits to establish phylogenetic trees, is based on the assumption of common descent: a clade (classically taxon) is defined as a particular form and all its descendants rather than an exclusive group in the nested hierarchies of biology.
Are shared derived traits found in members of the in group of a clade?
No, shared derived traits are not found in members of the in group of a clade.
What is the definition for iron clade?
"Iron clade" means nothing. -Ironclad was a kind of warship about 120 years ago and is also a word for a very strong agreement.
Which group of organisms would have the most recent common ancestor the members of a clade corresponding to a genus or the members of a clade corresponding to an order?
The Genus is more closely related.
What is a taxon?
A taxon is a group of organisms in a classification system, such as a species, genus, family, or order. Taxonomy is the science of classifying and naming organisms based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships. Each taxon represents a level in the hierarchy of biological classification.
A taxon such as the class reptilia which does not include its relatives the birds is... a. really an order b. a clade c. monophyletic d. polyphyletic e. paraphyletic?
e. paraphyletic
What is the difference between flower genus and species?
A genus is the next higher taxon up from species. It is a group of closely related species.
What are differences and similarities between a class reptilia and a clade reptilia?
clade and class are different because one says clade and the other says class. the same thing they have in common is that they both have reptilia at the end.
What does transitional mean?
In the context of palaeontology, calling a fossil a 'transitional form' means that it's morphologically intermediate between a basal clade and a specific derived clade. Meaning that the shapes of its bones are such as would be expected from a descendant of the basal clade that is also ancestral to the derived clade.
In which taxon is the ginkgo?
The taxon of the ginkgo is Linnaeus.
What is the difference between taxons and kingdoms?
Taxons refer to the hierarchical classification of organisms based on shared characteristics, including domains, kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species. Kingdoms are broad taxonomic groups that categorize organisms based on fundamental characteristics, such as cell structure, nutrition, and reproduction. Kingdoms are higher in the taxonomic hierarchy and encompass multiple taxons.
How is a crocdile related to a dinosaur?
The smallest clade that envelops both dinosaurs (including birds) and crocodiles is Archosauria. This clade first emerged between 260 and 250 million years ago.
What is the plural of taxon?
The plural form of the noun 'taxon' is 'taxa.'
Is A key is a taxon.?
No, the Key is not a Taxon. So false. false
Which is the higher taxon of class or order?
Class is a higher taxon than order in the hierarchy of biological classification. Classes consist of multiple orders, which in turn consist of multiple families, genera, and species.
Is a key a taxon?
No, a key is not a taxon. A key is a tool used in biology to help identify and classify organisms based on their characteristics. Taxon refers to a group of organisms at a particular level of classification, such as species, genus, family, etc.
