Q3-WEEK 6 - MELC 10

ACTIVITY NO.1
Classification of Organisms (50 points)

Direction: In the table below, research two different plants and animals you like most. Include their
taxonomic classification, any distinct features and even their habitat. Then identify the similarities
between the two organisms.

Animal 1 Animal 2
Kingdom:  Animalia. Kingdom: Animalia.
Phylum: Chordata Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora Order: Aves
Family: Canidae Family: Psittacidae.
Genus: Canis Genus: Cacatua
Species: Lupus familiaris Species: Cacatua alba
Scientific name: Canis lupus familiaris Scientific name: Cacatua alba
Distinct feature/s: Distinct feature/s:
Siberian Husky does not display One of the most affectionate parrot
the possessive qualities of the guard species and sometimes called "velcro"
dog, nor is he overly suspicious of birds.Also, it is a white colored parrot.
strangers or aggressive with other
dogs.Most Siberian Huskies are
sociable with other dogs, but he has a
very high prey drive and may destroy
cats if not raised with them.
Habitat : Cold northern climate Habitat: Wooded areas
What do these organisms have in commons?
These two animals both belong in Kingdom Animalia and Phylum Chordata.

Plant 1 Plant 2
Kingdom: Plantae Kingdom: Plantae
Phylum: Vascular Phylum: Vascular
Class: Magnoliopsida Class: Eudicots
Order: Rosales Order: Malvales
Family: Rosaceae Family: Malvaceae
Genus: Rosa L. Genus: Hibiscus L
Species: Rosa borboniana Species: Hibiscus rosa-sinensis
Scientific name: Rosa borboniana Scientific name: Hibiscus rosa-sinensis
Distinct feature/s: Distinct feature/s:

The plants are generally vigorous,

and have an open habit with arching
stems and glossy leaves.
Tend to be susceptible to mildew
and blackspot making them more
suitable to dry climates.
The flower has both male (stamen)
and female (ovary) parts. Every stalk
has one flower, and most flowers have
five petals, although some have double
rows of petals. Petals can be scooped
or scalloped in shape.

Habitat: Sunny, well-drained clay soil.Habitat : Warm-temperate, subtropical

and tropical regions throughout the
world
What do these organisms have in commons?
They both belong to Kingdom Plantae, both vascular plants, and inhibit in a
warm temperate region.

Q3-WEEK 6 - MELC 11
ACTIVITY NO.1 (40 points)

1. Do you remember the last time you had a family reunion? A summer vacation or a family
gathering and the latest family picture taken together? Can you describe your family
members? What makes you similar to them and what makes you unique?”

2. List characters or features that served as evidences (e.g. morphological, genetic, etc.) that
indeed they belong to the same family.

 ACTIVITY NO.2
Phylogenic Tree (10points)

1. Choose any vertebrates animal and create phylogenetic tree showing their evolutionary
relationships. This tree should be primarily based on physical characteristics, such as:
I. Presence or absence of a backbone
II. Ability to breathe in air or water
III. Cold or warm blooded
IV. Carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore
V. Presence or absence of hair/fur
VI. Any other external structures such as horns
2.Research on the internet on the sample of Phylogenic Tree
