Part A: Taxonomy Chart Organize your five animals by kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species within your chart. This information can be accessed in a Web search of your animal. You may choose any format you wish for the taxonomy chart. It can follow the student example provided but does not have to replicate it exactly. Concept maps or circle diagrams are also appropriate for organizing your animals. Part B: The Cladogram Organize your five animals by their evolutionary relationships with one another. This information can be accessed in a web search about your animal. (Hint: Review evolutionary relationships, ancestral traits, and derived traits from the lesson.) There is no wrong way to make a cladogram. As long as you can justify species location on the cladogram, your chart will be correct. Your cladogram does not have to match the student example. Remember, no matter what the relationship is between the groups depicted in a cladogram, there will always be one less clade than the number of groups.

OpenStudy (zale101):

You know what's a cladogram, right? It looks like this http://biology.unm.edu/ccouncil/Biology_203/Images/Phylogeny/cladogramDino.gif

OpenStudy (zale101):

that's for part b.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right I know what it looks like, it's just I am clueless on how to actually create one

OpenStudy (zale101):

Do you have five animals listed now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Blue Jay, Robin, Cardinal, Finch, and Pelican

OpenStudy (zale101):

now identify each animal by their kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Example of a taxonomy chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Biological_classification_L_Pengo_vflip.svg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohkay. I have most of them I am finishing that part now.

OpenStudy (zale101):

What format you chose for your taxonomy chart?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean by format?

OpenStudy (zale101):

There's many types of taxonomy chart, you need to make a taxonomy chart for each specie. As it said in Part A. A taxonomy chart looks like this http://activelearning.uta.edu/images/BloomsTaxonomyThinking.jpg

OpenStudy (zale101):

Taxonomy chart is used for putting animals in order.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking of doing it like this picture.

OpenStudy (zale101):

Here is an easy example.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is perfect! Your awesome thank you =)

OpenStudy (zale101):

Anytime :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me know if I can help you anytime because I owe you big for this :)

OpenStudy (zale101):

I'd go for wikipedia to get information for the taxonomy chart. Wikipedia has everything you need on your assignment.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohkay. Awesome thanks again

OpenStudy (zale101):

I will ask you @DelilahJ.Rose, I'm so happy because i helped you. U made my day :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
