Down: 2) in a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of complex, multicellular organisms that lack cell walls, are usually able to move around, and possess specialized sense organs that help them quickly respond to their environment3) a feature that is shared by all members of a particular group of organisms5) a taxonomic grouping that includes only a single ancestor and all of its descendants6) scientists determine an organism’s evolutionary history by looking at gene sequence similarities in its DNA and RNA as well as looking at its physical characteristics8) in a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of prokaryotes that can live in extreme environments; differentiated from other prokaryotes by various important chemical differences; biologists more recently prefer to classify these organisms as Domain Archaea9) in a modern taxonomic system, a domain made up of prokaryotes that can live in extreme environments and that are differentiated from other prokaryotes by various important chemical differences; this domain aligns with the tradition kingdom Archaebacteria11) a diagram that is based on patterns of shared, derived traits and that shows the evolutionary relationships between groups of organisms14) in a modern taxonomic system, a domain made up of prokaryotes that usually have a cell wall that usually reproduce by cell division; this domain aligns with the traditional kingdom Eubacteria18) a way of separating a large group of closely related organisms into smaller subgroups20) Swedish scientist who developed the system of classification still in use today using the seven taxa and binomial nomenclature Across: 1) in a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of eukaryotic, multicellular organisms that have cell walls made mostly of cellulose, that have pigments that absorb light, and that supply energy and oxygen to themselves and to other life-forms through photosynthesis4) the evolutionary history of a species or taxonomic group; the relationships by ancestry among species or taxonomic groups7) a system for giving each organism a two-word scientific name that consists of the genus name followed by the species name10) a feature that evolved only within a particular taxonomic group12) in a modern taxonomic system, a domain made up of all eukaryotes; aligns with the traditional kingdoms Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia13) in a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom that contains all prokaryotes except Kingdom Archaebacteria (Domain Archaea); biologists more recently prefer to classify these organisms as Domain Bacteria15) in a modern taxonomic system, the broadest category; the category that contains kingdoms16) Greek philosopher who developed a crude classification system that separated organisms based on where they lived17) the science of describing, naming, and classifying organisms19) small segments of DNA are compared in two species to determine how dissimilar they are. Since mutations in such segments accumulate at a fairly constant rate, the dissimilarity indicates how long ago the two species shared a common ancestor21) in a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of mostly one-celled eukaryotic organisms that are not readily classified as either plants, animals, or fungi22) the two-word genus and species name assigned to one organism; usually Latin; the genus name is capitalized and the species name (or specific epithet) is not. It is usually written in italics or underlined to set it apart from other text. (example: the scientific name for humans is Homo sapiens)23) any particular group within a taxonomic system24) terms that differ in different regions and can add to confusion when trying to identify organisms25) a method for determining the identity of a living thing (like the name of a butterfly, a plant, a lichen, or a lizard) by going through a series of choices that leads the user to the correct name of the item. Dichotomous means “divided in two parts”26) in a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of nongreen, eukaryotic organisms that get food by breaking down organic matter and absorbing the nutrients, reproduce by means of spores, and have no means of movement
