Biodiversity Test next Tuesday, 10/23. What is going to be on it?



  • THIS TEST WILL INCLUDE:
  • About 10 multiple choice
  • List Domain through species categories and list all 8 for an animal and a plant (we did humans and the Coast Redwood)
  • Use a cladogram or dichotomous key to sort out 8-10 animals that I will give you.  Please use characteristics (i.e. has 4 limbs) and not previously determined classification categories (like mammals) to do the sorting
  • You will be given a cladogram with numbers on it and be asked to use it to determine which organisms diverged the longest ago or most recently, etc.
  • 3-4 short answer questions comparing organisms from various groups (like aves and reptilia),  using Uniprot and Jalview to make cladogram, the concept of molecular clocks, why we classify, etc.
