Survey of Zoology
Name: Homework Questions Set I Points Possible: 10 Due: BEORE your Midterm Practical (see syllabus for schedule) How to submit: Upload to Homework I Dropbox on D2I Important Notes: This assignment must be uploaded as a Word or PDF document. You do not need to include the questions on your answer sheet but be sure to leave in headings and question numbers. This is an individual assignment and no group work will be accepted. Be sure to fill out the diagrams at the end of the assignment in addition to answering the other questions. These questions are based on the material you will receive in mini-lectures at the beginning of lab. Questions should be answered weekly to avoid creating an enormous amount of work for yourself the night before this assignment is due. These questions are not difficult, but will take a substantial amount of time to complete if let go until the last minute This assignment will help you study for lab quizzes and practical exams. However, these questions should not be your only means of studying (especially for lab practical exams) Practical exams (which occur at mid-term and the end of the semester) will, in part, call on you to identify specific structures pointed out on actual specimens (something that is difficult to include in this type of assignment) 1. 2. 3. 4. What are the two objectives of taxonomy? How is the taxonomic classification system's hierarchy ordered? (hint: King Philip Came Over From Germany Swimming) What two characteristics must be present in a group of animals for them to be considered their own species? What is binomial nomenclature? What are the main parts of a cell and each parts function? 5. *Be familiar with the components of the microscope discussed in lab *Be able to label the parts of a blank microscope 1. What are the two functions/actions of microscopes that allow us to view small objects? (Hint: One makes them appear bigger, one makes them clearer) 2. What does the term eukarvotic mean? 3. What does the term prokaryotic mean? 4. What is mutualism? Commensalisms? Parasitism? Give examples of each. 5. At what level of organization do protists exist? 6. Do protists have any organs? 7. Write out the taxonomy of this kingdom and examples of critters in each that we discussed in lab (i.e., Phylums, sub-phylums, Orders, etc.) What are cilia? Flagella? Pseudopodia? Give an example of an organism that uses each.*Be able to identify the various unicellular organisms we viewed in lab* 8.Explanation / Answer
(1)Taxonomy is important because:-
It is essential for classifying organisms which are closely related according to the similar characters they share.
It facilitates easy understanding and study of organisms.
(2) Species - Genus - Family--Order-Class-Phylum-Kingdom
(3) Characterstics which common species share are:-
Similar organisms capable of gene exchange and interbreeding.
They share common morphological,anatomical and physiological characters.
(4)Binomial nomenclature is the scientific system of naming organisms which include genus and specific epithet.These are always written in italics or if handritten are seperately underlined.The genus always starts with capital letter and species with small.(for eg.Mangifera indica)
