Classification
Traits that evolved in one species after it
branched off from the other
Linnaeus’s system of naming organisms which
gives a scientific two word Latin name to
species - the first being the genus name and the
second being the specific epithet
The broadest of all taxa; contains one or more
kingdoms
RNA virus, such as HIV,with reverse
transcriptase in its core
A branching diagram that represents the
proposed evolutionary history of a species or
group
A discipline of Biology primarily concerned
with identifying, naming, and classifying
species based on natural relationship
Microscopic prokaryotes. Most are beneficial
to humans and to the environment, but a small
percentage can cause disease.
A group or rank in a biological classification
into which related organisms are classified
A viral replication process in which viral DNA
inserts into the host cell’s chromosome, may
remain dormant, and later activate and instruct
the host cell to produce more viruses
Non-living strand of genetic material within a
protein coat
The taxonomic kingdom comprising all living
or extinct plants
A viral replication process in which genetic
material of the virus enters the host cell’s
cytoplasm, the cell replicates the viral RNA or
DNA,and the host cell is instructed to
manufacture capsids
Taxonomic kingdom comprising all living or
extinct animals
The outer layer of all viruses
The grouping of organisms based on a set of
criteria that helps organize, communicate, and
retain information

clade
The evolutionary history of a species
Traits that two species share because of
common ancestry
The domain comprised of eukaryotes or
organisms whose cells contain a true nucleus
A taxonomic kingdom comprised of protists,
characterized by being eukaryotic and mostly
single-celled
A protein that can cause infection or disease
Prokaryotes whose cell walls do not contain
peptidoglycan
The part of the virus that contains the genetic
material (DNA or RNA)
Prokaryotes whose cell walls contain
peptidoglycan
A (taxonomic) group that includes hetrophic
eukaryotes that are usually filamentous, devoid
of chlorophyll, with chitin cell walls, and
produce spores
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order,
Family, Genus, Species
A species or group of species closely related to
but not included within a taxon
Any of the unicelluar microorganisms that is
generally distinct from bacteria and eukaryotes,
and often inhabiting extreme environmental
conditions
Father of Taxonomy. Created binomial
nomenclature; still used today!
A taxonomic group of organisms classified
together on the basis of homologous features
traced to a common ancestor. A grouping of
organisms made on the basis of phylogenetic relationship, rather
than purely on shared features. Clades consist of a common
ancestor and all its descendants. The class Aves (birds) is a clade,
whereas the class Reptilia (reptiles) is not, since it does not
include birds, which are descended from the dinosaurs, a kind of
reptile
Common ancestor
Any person to whom two or more persons
claim descent; also, the most recent ancestral
form or species from which two different
species evolved
