Matching Pairs Systematics MatchingOnline version Exam 1 definitions systematics by Emma Fuller 1 competing philosophies 2 cladistics 3 biodiversity 4 systematics 5 classification 6 phylogeny 7 taxonomy 8 evolutionary All taxa should be clades, monophyletic AND holophyletic number of species, genre, etc Taxa should share recent common ancestry AND morphological similarity, may generate some paraphyletic taxa Assigning organisms to hierarchical groups Study of diversification and relationships the naming of groups of organisms evolutionary history different schools of thought that promote different theories, principles, or methods 1 autapomorphic 2 symplesiomorphic 3 plesiomorphic 4 holophyletic 5 clade 6 homologous 7 grade 8 synapomorphic 9 polyphyletic 10 monophyletic 11 apomorphic 12 analogous 13 homoplasy 14 paraphyletic An unshared, derived characteristic Similar based on shared common ancestry Similar due to common function, not based on shared common ancestry An analogous trait or character, such as skin flaps for gliding A lineage of organisms that is derived from a single common ancestor and contains ALL descendants A shared, ancestral characteristic A derived characteristic An ancestral characteristic shared, derived characteristic A lineage or trait found in independent lineages A group of organisms that shares similarity but not by shared common ancestry or excluding some descendants A lineage including all descendants of a single common ancestor A lineage including some but not all descendants of a single common ancestor A lineage with a single common ancestor 1 cladogram 2 parallel evolution 3 dendrogram 4 bradytely 5 convergent evolution 6 DKPCOFGS 7 horotely 8 phylogram 9 tachytely The evolution of homologous characteristics into new forms/phenotypes in the same clade. “Descent with modification” a branching diagram that shows how similar a group of things are to each other a biological term that describes a normal or average rate of evolution for a group of plants or animals evolution that is very slow or has stopped The evolution of analogous characteristics in distantly related clades a branching diagram showing the cladistic relationship between a number of species evolution at a relatively rapid rate tending to result in speedy differentiation and fixation of new types a diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships between species, and is also known as a phylogenetic tree.
