okay, so.. idk;; it's really like confusing to me. D: I have 10 pages, due Mondey.. and I've went through like all of them and could only do 3 pages, lol. so.. this is my attempt to get some help. x_x

This worksheet pretty much says, "In the space at the left, write true if the statement is true. If the statement is false, change the italicized (word in quotes) to make the statement true.

I've pretty much attempted them all but.. I know half of them are probably going to be wrong, lol... so I'd love it if you helped me out! :x;

1.) In aristotle's system of classification, animals were calssified on the basis of their "size and structure". --> I put true.

2.) The greater the number of taxa two organisms have in common, the "more closely" related they are. --> I put true, lol.

3.) Organisms that are similar in structure and form and successfully interbreed belong to the same "family." I put true.

4.) A phylum is a related to a class as a family is related to "an order." --> I changed that to Genera? lol..

5.) In the scientific name of the white oak, Quercus alba, Quercus is the "species" name. --> I put plant, lol.. x-x

6.) Two groups of organisms that are farther from each other on a cladogram share "more" derived traits then groups that are closer to each other.

7.) In a fanlike diagram, groups represented by rays that begin "closer" to the edge of the fan evolved more recently.

8.) When organisms are classified within the same group, it can be assumed that they have a common "phylogeny."

9.) Escherichia coli, a type of bacterium that lives int he small intestine, is classified in the kingdom "protista."

10.) Linnaeus used similarities in "structure" to determine relationships among organisms.


Thanks. [: & just answer one;; whatever.. but seriously. I need help, LOL.
