what is binomial nomenclature

Back (Answer)

combination of using a genius and species name when referring to a specific species

#19
Front (Question)

what is the format for binomial nomenclature

Front (Question)

what is the phylogenetic tree

Back (Answer)

branching diagram showing the evolutionary history of organisms

#21
Front (Question)

how does the phylogenetic tree work

Back (Answer)

The distance between each branch indicates the distance each species is from a common ancestor

#22
Front (Question)

what is a clade

Back (Answer)

A group of organisms that includes all of the descendants of a common ancestor - used in cladogram

#23
Front (Question)

what is dichotomous key

Back (Answer)

used to identify different organisms based on the organisms observable traits

#24
Front (Question)

how does the dichotomous key work

Back (Answer)

it consists of a series of statements with two choices in each step that will lead to the correct identification
