DO NOT WRITE ON THIS DOCUMENT…PROVIDED ANSWER DOCUMENT…THIS IS A TEST….NO TALKING..NO PHONES TAXONOMY TEST 1 What factors do the Kingdoms Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia have in common? F They are all eukaryotes. H They are all multicellular organisms. G They are all photosynthetic organisms. J They are all prokaryotes. 2 What genetic change allows organisms to survive natural selection in their environments? A adaptations B acquired traits C analogies D learned behaviors 3 Two organisms within the same genus can be organized into several related — F kingdoms G phyla H orders J species 4 Heritable structures of an organism that allow it to more efficiently use its environment are — A acclimations B adaptations C variations D mutations Use the following data to answer the next two questions. 5 Which animals are more closely related? F bush anole and crested penguin G crested penguin and ferret 6 H ferret and muskrat J bush anole and ferret At what taxonomic level do the ferret and muskrat diverge? A Class B Order C Family D Genus 7 The branch of science that identifies and categorizes organisms is called — F pathology G nomenclature H taxonomy J microbiology 8 The most general group that an organism can belong to is its — A genus B class C family D kingdom 9 Using the phylogenetic tree below, which of the following has the greatest genetic difference from Macaca fuscata? A B C D 10 M. mulatta M. sylvanus Hylobates Pan Which of the following is an example of a heritable characteristic possessed by an animal that will improve its reproductive potential and survivability in its environment? A position of geese flying in V formation B color and shape camouflage of preying mantis C muscle atrophy in aging dogs D male dominance in a pack of wolves 11 Which statement does NOT accurately describe natural selection? A Individual organisms change their genes to adapt to their environment. B The genetic composition of a population changes from one generation to the next. C More advantageous traits become more common in populations. D Beneficial and useful traits are inheritable. 12 Which diagrams to the right illustrate homologous structures? A B C D 1, 1, 2, 1, 2 3 3 2, 3 13 What are the advantages of having a universal naming system for organisms? F Latin is the language most frequently spoken, as well as the most widely accepted language in the scientific and medical fields. G The scientific name of an organism does not address its habitat, diet, and life expectancy. H In the case of pathogens, the scientific name of a virus can also be applied to the disease it causes. J The same organism name can be recognized in all countries, thus avoiding translation issues. 14 In which of the following Kingdoms or Domains would an organism NOT have a cell wall? A Plantae B Animalia C Archaebacteria D Fungi 15 Scientists discover a new organism. The organism is autotrophic, with membrane- bound organelles. To which of these kingdoms does this organism MOST LIKELY belong? A Archaebacteria B Eubacteria C Animalia D Protista 16 Which of these factors should be compared to best determine how closely species are related to each other? A number of genes B sequence of amino acids C location of chromosomes D physical similarities in body structure 17 Which structures in figures 2 and 3 are homologous to C in figure 1? A B C D figure figure figure figure 2– T 2–V 2–W 2–U and and and and figure 3 – M figure 3 – O figure 3 – N figure 3 – P 18 What is a MAJOR difference between plant and animal cells? A Plant cells are prokaryotic, and animal cells are eukaryotic. B Plant cells have cell walls, and animal cells don’t have cell walls. C Plant cells are endothermic, and animal cells are exothermic. D Plant cells are heterotrophs, and animal cells are autotrophs. 19 The fossil record has allowed scientists to see that similar kinds of structures/limbs have grown in structurally different patterns in different organisms (bat wing and butterfly wing). These structures/limbs are termed as: A analogous structures B endosymbiosis C natural selection D vestigial structures 20 Looking through the fossil record, there are times when numerous fossils look to just appear all at the same time, with similar characteristics. What is a good explanation for this? A A change in the environment occurred, and animals choose to express different traits. B New species are always occurring, and there is no reason for it. C Ancient man killed off all the animals, and they raised new animals, which are then found in the fossil record. D A change in the environment caused different genetic traits to allow for a greater chance of survival, and the fossil record shows this. 21 Which statement best describes members of the plant kingdom? A unicellular, simple, autotrophic B unicellular/multicellular, heterotrophic C unicellular/multicellular, autotrophic D multicellular, autotrophic 22 The fossil record provides evidence of how things have changed over time. Below shows the evolution of the origin of Tetrapods. When looking at the fossil record, similarities in anatomical structures can be seen. What is the term for the common ancestry? A phylogeny B analogy C embryology D homology 23 Based on genes responsible for producing respiratory structures, which pair of organisms would be MOST closely related? A perch and grasshopper B tadpole and bird C fish and human D snake and monkey 24 The ability of an organism to compete successfully for environmental resources, survive predation, resist disease, and live to adulthood affects the organism’s — C genetic potential A differential reproductive success D genetic code B genetic variability 25 List all the levels of the classification system in order from largest/broadest group to most smallest/most specific group ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ 26 Four species with a homologous section of DNA have the following nucleotide sequences: Species 1 ATGTAGC Species 2 ATCTGAC Species 3 AGGTACC Species 4 AGGCGGC - According to these sequences, which two species are most closely related? ______________________________________________________________________________ 27-36 Dichotomous Keys Using Smiley Faces Instructions: Use the key below to identify the species name of each of the smileys below.
