Question 1

1.

According to the scientific names, Felis catus and Felis silvestris belong to the same —

Genus and species

Species and class

Genus and class

Family and species

Question 2

2.

If an organism is reproductively isolated and cannot produce fertile offspring with others it is said to be a distinct —

Class

Species

Kingdom

Genus

Question 3

3.

An organism that is multicellular, nonvascular, and reproduces using spores would be classified in which kingdom?

Plantae

Fungi

Animalia

Protista

Question 4

4.

A laboratory investigation included examining prepared slides of organisms that were rinsed from some forest floor soil samples. Singlecelled organisms with a nucleus and a cell wall were visible. Through staining, it was revealed that the cell walls of these organisms were made of chitin. These organisms probably belong to the kingdom

Animalia

Protista

Eubacteria

Fungi

Question 5

5.

Biologists have found a unicellular organism and know that it is a prokaryote. To successfully classify the organism into the appropriate kingdom, the biologists would have to determine —

if it can survive in the absence of oxygen

All of the above

the components of its cell wall

if it has a nuclear membrane

the temperature of its environment 

Question 6

6.

A student was classifying organisms into kingdoms. The student was trying to identify which organism in a particular group belonged in the kingdom Protista. Protists are eukaryotic organisms that lack tissue differentiation. Which of these organisms should the student classify as the kingdom Protista?

A bread mold, which consists of tangled masses of cell filaments and reproduces sexually

A hydra, an organism that exists only as a polyp, lives in fresh water, can live attached to the ground or can travel by floating and can reproduce sexually or asexually

A paramecium, a single celled organism with elaborate organelles that is free living and moves through liquids by moving its cilia

A sponge, an aquatic, multicellular organism with a body that is shaped like a hollow cylinder that can reproduce sexually or asexually

Question 7

7.

Each region of this diagram represents a collection of organisms or members of a taxonomic level. Region D represents flying mammals. Region A represents birds. Which of the following is most likely the taxonomic level region C represents?

Phylum 

Kingdom

Class

Domain

Question 8

8.

Which diagram represents a system of biological taxonomy showing evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms?

Question 9

9.

Which response does not support the need for the international science community to have a standardized taxonomic system?

Scientists find a common language useful when researching living things.

Grouping organisms according to structural similarities and differences; as well as their evolutionary histories, helps further future research.

The need to consider genes and embryos when classifying is unnecessary and therefore eliminated.

Having a universal, Latin scientific name helps the sharing of knowledge across the world.

Question 10

10.

Select all of the following correct ways when writing the scientific name.

The first letter of the genus name is capital and everything else is lower case.

C. luper

When handwriting the scientific name you must underline both the order and species name

When writing the scientific name you use the taxonomy levels Family and species

When writing the scientific name everything should be lowercase except of the species name
