Transcript Slide 1

 HAPPY THURSDAY 
Bellwork: Write “Finish Kingdom Sort”.
1st: Highlight/underline/circle the key words that help you
determine the kingdom.
2nd: Determine what Kingdom an organism belongs to.
3rd:Get a signature from ME…..your teacher. 
4th: Color-code each organism based on what kingdom they
belong to:
Eubacteria: Red
Archeabacteria: Orange
Protist: Yellow
Plantae: Green
Fungi: Blue
Animalia: Purple
Essential Question:
How would you determine
what kingdom an organism
belongs to?
Standard: compare the characteristics of
taxonomic groups including plantae and
animalia (B8C)

11. Describe 2 conclusions that can be
made from this information.
The information below describes the most specific levels of
classification that the mushroom sea squirt, Sycozoa gaimardi,
shares with four other organisms.
•The mushroom sea squirt is in the same class as the
common sea grape.
•The mushroom sea squirt is in the same family as the
blue spot ascidian.
•The mushroom sea squirt is in the same order as the
white speck tunicate.
•The mushroom sea squirt is in the same phylum as the
starry skate.
12. To which of the four organisms is the mushroom sea squirt most
closely related?
A.
B.
C.
D.
13. Which of the beetles above must belong to
the same family?
14. Four students researched the classifications
of the following eight whales:

3
fin whale
and minke

They are
both in the
same
genus.
4

both in the
right whale
same
and
family.
bowhead

bowhead whale, Balaena mysticetus
The students were asked which two whales are
most closely related and why. The table below
summarizes the students’ answers.
Based on the classifications, which student gave
the correct answer to the question?

15. Which two organisms are most closely related?
16. Which taxa do all three organisms share?
17.The Ursidae family of animals includes the
giant panda, the brown bear, the polar bear,
and the spectacled bear. Which of the
following characteristics best helps classify
these bears into genus and species levels?
A.eating habits
B.gene sequences
C.method of reproduction
D.location of natural habitat
Scientists compared the DNA sequence of a gene in four
mammals. A portion of the gene’s DNA sequence in each
mammal is shown below.
