-Phylogenetics - -the branch of systematic biology that study's the evolutionary
relatedness among groups of organisms
-Phylogeny - -hypothesis of evolutionary relatedness among taxa represented by a family
tree
-Characteristics used to create a Phylogeny - -- fossil record

, -Clades - -branches
- Only uses traits that are shared among all individuals
- Represents evolutionary relatedness of homologous traits, or those that share common
ancestry
-Convergent evolution - -the independent evolution of analogous traits
-adaptions to similar environments - -o Analogous structures arise because of __________

- Domain Eukarya - -Three domain classification system
-Domain Eukarya - -Type of domain:
- Protists, animals, fungi, plants
-Eukarya and Archaea - -Domains that are most closely related to each other
-Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and new data about cells supported that there were two
groups of prokaryotes - -Three domain classification system was created because
-2 pounds - -how many pounds of bacteria live on our body?
-Leeuwenhoek - -this person used the microscope to view microscopic life forms in drops
of water called "animalcules"
-Microbiology - -study of microbes
-microbes - -bacteria, archaea, protists, fungi, prions, and viruses
-origin of microbial life - -All traced back to the "last universal common ancestor"

-docomposers - -break down organic or inorganic materials that can be reused by plants
and animals
-primary producers - -capture energy from sun or inorganic material, providing nutrients
for more complex organisms
