Determining Relatedness Among Organisms

Relatedness among organisms is determined by analysis of genes that code for small subunit ribosomal RNA
(SSUrRNA).

CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING (30 minutes)

You will answer and rationalize this by yourself. This will be recorded as your quiz. One (1) point will be given to correct
answer and another one (1) point for the correct ratio. Superimpositions or erasures in you answer/ratio is not allowed.
You are given 30 minutes for this activity:

1. The science of taxonomy was established, based on the binomial system of nomenclature developed in the 18th
century by?
a. Christopher Columbus
b. Charles Darwin
c. Robert Hooke
d. Carolus Linnaeus.
ANSWER: ________
D
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
Carolus Linnaeus, who is usually regarded as the founder of modern taxonomy and whose books are considered the
________________________________________________________________________________________________
beginning of modern botanical and zoological nomenclature, drew up rules for assigning names to plants and animals and
________________________________________________________________________________________________
was the first to use binomial nomenclature consistently.

2. In classification of Homo erectus which names is the specific epithet.?

a. Homo
b. erectus
c. both a and b
ANSWER: ________B
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
The term specific epithet usually refers to the second element in the formal name of a plant, fungus, or bacterium.

3. What do you call the process of prokaryotes in which one cell (the parent cell) splits in half to become two daughter
cells.
a. binary fission
b. binary fusion
c. meiosis
d. mitosis
ANSWER: ________A
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction in which an organism divides into two, each part carrying one copy of
________________________________________________________________________________________________
genetic material.
________________________________________________________________________________________________

4. It is the arrangement of organisms into taxonomic groups on the basis of similarities or relationships.
a. identification
b. nomenclature
c. enumeration
d. classification
ANSWER: ________ D
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
The system of arrangement or organisms in certain groups and subgroups on the basis of certain similarities and
________________________________________________________________________________________________
dissimilarities is called classification.

5. The Three-Domain System of Classification is based on differences in which of the following molecules?
a. mRNA
b. peptidoglycan
c. rRNA
d. tRNA
ANSWER: ________D
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
The 3-Domain System of classification is based on differences in the structure of transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules. One way
________________________________________________________________________________________________
that archaea differ from bacteria is that archaea possess more peptidoglycan in their cell walls.
________________________________________________________________________________________________

6. Which of the following is in the correct sequence?

a. Kingdom, Class, Division, Order, Family, Genus
b. Kingdom, Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus
c. Kingdom, Division, Order, Class, Family, Genus
d. Kingdom, Order, Division, Class, Family, Genus
B
ANSWER: ________
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
Classification, or taxonomy, is a system of categorizing living things. There are seven divisions in the system: (1) Kingdom;
________________________________________________________________________________________________
(2) Phylum or Division; (3) Class; (4) Order; (5) Family; (6) Genus; (7) Species. Kingdom is the broadest division.
________________________________________________________________________________________________

7. When the genus and the specific epithet are used together it is called as what?
a. order
b. family
c. class
d. species
ANSWER: ________
D
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
A species name is based on an organism's biological classification and follows the system of binomial nomenclature. A
________________________________________________________________________________________________
name consists of two words: the generic name and the specific epithet. The generic name is the genus to which the species
________________________________________________________________________________________________
belongs, and the specific epithet refers to the species within that genus.

8. Bacteria and archaea are in the Kingdom?

a. Monera
b. Protista
c. Fungi
d. Plantae
ANSWER: ________A
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
The organisms found in kingdom Monera have been divided into two domains, Archaea and Bacteria (with Eukarya as the

9. Who devised the Three-Domain System of Classification?

a. Robert H. Whittaker
b. Carl R. Woese
c. Louis Pasteur
d. Alexandre Emile Jean Yersin
ANSWER: ________ B
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
The three-domain system is a biological classification introduced by Carl Woese in 1990 that emphasizes his separation
________________________________________________________________________________________________
of prokaryotes into two groups, originally called Eubacteria and Archaebacteria.

ANSWER: ________
B
RATIO:___________________________________________________________________________________________
Relatedness among organisms is determined by analysis of genes that code for small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSUrRNA).
