Definition
| The “king-phy-class-ord-fam-gen-spec” way of classifying |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A way of classifying based on common ancestors, place organisms into groups called clades |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a group of organisms with a common ancestor, but can be nested within bigger clades |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| one of the taxonomic groups (kingdom, class, etc.) |

Term
|
Definition
| a diagram that shows phylogeny of organisms with similar and different ancestors |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the set of rules to determine nomenclature |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a representation of common ancestors between species on phylogenetic tree |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| any taxa derived from an immediate common ancestor |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| early lineage, can have a wider variety than monophyletic |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a group that does not belong to the group being relational to |

Term
|
Definition
| rooted from some ancestor…? |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| more than two immediate descending branches |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a group with a common ancestor, still fairly closely related |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| descended from a common evolutionary ancestor or ancestral group, but not including all the descendant groups. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a branch point where more than two descendant groups emerge |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| similarity in sequence based on common ancestor |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| comparison of structure, not from common ancestor |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| organisms not related evolve similar traits |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| character shared with species, but not ancestor |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| two different taxa have a similar trait, then one of the taxa evolves a new trait, but then revolves to the old trait. |
|
|
Term
| shared ancenstral character |
|
Definition
| homology that evolved before taxon was created |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| traits shared by group of organisms but not by a common ancestor |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the simplest is the most correct, assume the fewest amount of evolutionary change So if there is a trait, assume that it came to have that trait in the most simple way. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| basing definitions of assumptions from the DNA/information given. Assume evolution occurs at equal rates, unless discovered otherwise. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the way to measure evolutionary time, based on the fact that things evolve at constant rates |
