Chapter 18 : CLASSIFICATION
INDEPENDENT ASSIGNMENT
AN INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT! YOU ARE NOT TO SHARE YOUR WORK!
The following questions and activities will help you become acquainted with the main
concepts of Chapter 18.
Due Date: TUESDAY, JANUARY 2ND (D-Day)
(-5 points/ day late penalty)
Your grade for this chapter will include 100 points:
 50 points for the assignments listed below
 50 point quiz (after reviewing the material)
1. Read Chapter 18 (pages 509 – 528). I suggest you read it in small sections,
not all at one time!
2. Complete attached worksheets:
A. Chapter 18 Concept Review (25 points)
B. The Kingdoms & Their Characteristics (15 points)
C. 2 worksheets (10 points): Classification Categories, Cladograms
Note: We will not be spending much time on this material in class.
You will be given a review sheet before the quiz!
I hope all this
work is not
fernothing!
Man, I can
hardly wait
to do this
assignment!
Why do I
already feel
single-celled
out?
This should
be fun-guys!
We’re not evolved
enough to have
something clever
to say.
CHAPTER 18 CONCEPT REVIEW
TYPE your answers to the following questions in complete sentences
(restate the question unless it says “list”, “name”, or “define”),
and attach it to this packet.
USE YOUR BOOK TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS  NOT THE INTERNET!
SECTION 18.1 – Finding Order in Diversity
1. Define Systematics. What is a taxon (or plural – taxa)?
2. Who is the scientist responsible for binomial nomenclature? What
language is used and why?
3. Binomial nomenclature is the system that is used to name
organisms. What is the goal of binomial nomenclature?
4. What is the modern definition of “species”?
5. What is a dichotomous key and how is it used?
6. List the seven hierarchical taxa (from most general to specific)
used to group organisms.
SECTION 18.2 – Modern Evolutionary Classification
7. What is “Phylogeny”?
8. What is a derived character? How can they be used to determine
how closely two species are related?
9. Besides DNA, what other kinds of information can be used by
scientists to determine relationships between groups of
organisms?
10.
How are DNA sequences used in classification?
SECTION 18.3 – Building the Tree of Life
11. Name the 3 domains, and list the Kingdoms within each domain.
(There are 6 Kingdoms.)
12. Thinking Question: (THIS IS NOT IN YOUR BOOK!)
Explain how evolution is responsible for both the “unity and
diversity” of life.
The Kingdoms & Their Characteristics
A. Complete the chart below indicating the characteristics for each kingdom.
(You may use the term “some” in the box if it’s not true for the entire Kingdom.)
- some of the boxes have been filled in for you already
B. Place the organisms from the box below in the correct kingdom. Some are specific
organisms, some are groups or categories of organisms. (You may actually have to look
some of these up!)
Amoeba, sponges, streptococcus, insects, ferns, methanogens, mushrooms,
yeast, paramecium, cactus, reptiles, halophiles, mold, cyanobacteria, euglena,
worms, diatoms, mammals, Escherichia coli, fish, thermophiles

Make a Colorful Concept Map on a small/medium size poster board of the 6
Kingdoms. Include all of their characteristics and color photographs of several
organisms within each kingdom. (I will show you an example in class.)
Classification Categories
1. List the 7 levels of classification categories from the
most broad (on top) to the most specific (on bottom).
2. Which are more similar:
a. members of an order or members of a family?
______________
b. members of an order or members of a phylum?

3. Which group has more members:
a. a phylum or a family?______________
b. a genus or a family? ______________
4. Which group has fewer members:
a. a family or a genus?______________
b. an order or a phylum? ______________
5. a. Which group has the most members? __________________

Cladograms
For Questions 1–3, complete each statement.
1. Define a cladogram __________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
2. The place where the ancestral lineage splits on a cladogram is called a fork, or a
_____________.
3. Characteristics shared by members of a clade and only by members of that clade are
called
_______________
.
Examine the cladogram below:
 Color the two organisms that belong to a clade that does not include the third
organism YELLOW. Color the organism that does not belong to the clade RED.
 Put a box around the point on the cladogram that shows the most recent common
ancestor of the crab and the barnacle.
 Mark an X on the point on the cladogram that shows the most recent common
ancestor of mollusks and crustaceans.
 Put a circle around the characteristic that all three organisms have in common.
DNA in Classification
Use the figure below to answer Questions 4–7.
4. According to the figure, which species is most closely related to Bears?
______________________________
5. Although giant pandas and raccoons share some distinct anatomical similarities,
they are in different clades. What type of evidence do you think was used to
construct this diagram?
6. Biologists had previously classified giant pandas together with raccoons and red
pandas. After DNA analysis, what must have been determined to change the
cladogram?
