Understanding Main Ideas (Part A)

In the space at the left, write true if the statement is true. If the statement is false, change the italicized word or phrase to make the statement true.

____________________ 1. In Aristotle's system of classification, animals were classified on the basis of their size and structure.

____________________ 2. The greater the number of taxa two organisms have in common, the more closely related they are.

____________________ 3. Organisms that are similar in structure and form and successfully interbreed belong to the same family.

____________________ 4. A phylum is related to a class as a family is related to an order.

____________________ 5. In the scientific name of the white oak, Quercus alba, Quercus is the species name.

____________________ 6. Two groups of organisms that are farther from each other on a cladogram share more derived traits than 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 in the small intestine, is classified in the Kingdom Protista.

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