Which of the following pairs of species are most distantly related? 1) Giraffe and squirrel 2) Human and dog 3) Dog and bacteria 4) Grass and rosebush 3. The table below gives both the common and scientific names of five New York State vertebrates. Name: Date: 5. Base your answer to the following question on In the cartoon below, Canus nipponicus refers to a proposed scientific name for an imaginary organism. Which two vertebrates are most closely related? 1) A and B 2) B and E 3) C and D 4) A and D 4. Base your answer to the following question on A classification scheme is shown below. This proposed scientific name indicates the 1) kingdom and phylum 2) phylum and genus 3) genus and species 4) kingdom and species 6. Base your answer to the following question on Which organism in the chart below is most distantly related to the other organisms? According to the classification scheme, what other animal is the house cat closest in relation to? 1) dolphin 2) songbird 3) lynx 4) wolf 1) A 2) B 3) C 4) D Page 1
7. Which organisms are represented in the cartoon below? 9. This diagram shows a cladogram of six species based on biochemical similarities. Which two species are the most closely related? 1) coelenterates 2) annelids 3) arthropods 4) chordates 8. In the diagrams below, the circles labeled Felis represent all members of the genus Felis, and the circles labeled domestica represent members of the species domestica. Which arrangement of circles best illustrates the relationship between the genus and species of Felis domestica, the common house cat? 1) 2) 3) 4) 1) I and II 2) II and IV 3) I and V 4) V and VI 10. Some species of algae are unicellular, motile, and photosynthetic. Under one modern system of classification, they would be classified as 1) mollusks 2) fungi 3) protists 4) tracheophytes 11. The classification group which shows the greatest similarity among its members is the 1) phylum 2) kingdom 3) genus 4) species 12. Organisms are grouped into a six kingdom classification system based on their structure and 1) evolutionary relationships 2) habitat 3) food preferences 4) social behavior 13. Organisms are classified into kingdoms primarily on the basis of 1) behavior 2) structure 3) size 4) habitat 14. Which scientist is correctly paired with his contribution to biological science? 1) Miller first to observe mitotic cell division 2) Linnaeus devised a binomial system for naming organisms 3) Darwin invented the electron microscope 4) Watson first to observe cells Page 2
15. A dichotomous key is shown below. Use the dichotomous key to identify the scientific name of the organism represented below. 1) Lepidosiren paradoxa 2) Alopias vulpinus 3) Sphyrna mokarran or S. mokarran 4) Monodon monoceros 16. The dichotomous key shown below can be used to identify birds W, X, Y, and Z. Bird X most likely falls under which classification? 1) Certhidea 2) Geospiza 3) Camarhynchus 4) Platyspiza Page 3
17. The daphnia shown below has produced three egg cells, eats live single-celled organisms,and lives in freshwater. Which terms would most likely be used in a description of this organism? 1) asexual reproduction, aquatic, heterotrophic 2) sexual reproduction, heterotrophic, aquatic 3) asexual reproduction, autotrophic,terrestrial 4) sexual reproduction, aquatic, autotrophic Page 4
18. Base your answer to the following question on the information and diagrams below and on your knowledge of biology. There are over 40 different species of butterfly fish found in tropical reefs throughout the world. Three different species of butterfly fish are shown below. The fish fin diagram and dichotomous key shown below can be used to determine the species of each of these fish. Page 5
Select two characteristics from the dichotomous key that are useful for determining the identity of fish A, B, and C. Using these characteristics, label the headings for the last two columns in the table and complete the last two columns in the table. 19. Base your answer to the following question on the diagram below and on your knowledge of biology. The diagram represents six insect species. A dichotomous key to these six species is shown above. Complete the missing information for sections 5.a. and 5.b. so that the key is complete for all six species. Page 6
20. Base your answer to the following question on Fill in all of the blanks in part 2 and 3 of the dichotomous key below, so that it contains information that could be used to identify the four animals shown below. Page 7
