Biological Evolution and Classification

The most broad (least specific) group in the Linnaean System

• Genus

• Domain

• Kingdom

• Species

When the DNA and body functions of organisms are changed to help them survive.

• Biological Adaptation

• Behavioral Adaptation

• Behavioral Variation

• Biological Variation

Why are analogous structures considered an example of convergent evolution?

• Analog structures are considered an example of convergent evolution because they arise in different evolutionary lineages but share similar functions due to adaptations to similar environments, demonstrating that natural selection favors similar solutions to common environmental challenges.

• Analog structures are considered an example of convergent evolution because they share a common ancestor

• Analog structures are considered an example of convergent evolution since they are identical in all aspects

• Analog structures are considered an example of convergent evolution due to genetic drift

• Carolus Linnacus

• Charles Darwin

What are analogous structures in the context of convergent evolution?

• They are structures that perform similar functions but do not share a common ancestor, they arise from convergent evolution.

• They are structures that arise from divergent evolution.

• They are structures that share a common ancestor but perform different functions.

• They are structures that have no relation to convergent evolution.

How are organisms classified in the Linnaean classification?

• Primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary, quinary, senary, septenary

• A, B, C, D, E, F, G

• Kingdoms, divisions, classes, orders, families, genera, species

• Colors, sizes, shapes, textures
