Eukaryotic,
multicellular,
heterotropic, no cell
walls
Plantae
Eukaryotic,
multicellular, cell walls
made of cellulose,
photosynthesise,
contain chlorophyll
and are autotropic
Phylogeny
Is the study of the evolutionary history
of groups of organisms.
It tells us who's related to whom and how
closely related they are
Evolution of classification
Range of evidence
Molecular evidence -
similarities in proteins
and DNA.
Embryological evidence -
similarities in early stages of
development
Anatomical evidence
- structure and
function of the body
Behavioural evidence -
behaviour and social
organisation
New technologies
can result in new
discoveries
Three domains
Organism with a nucleus are
in the domain Eukarya.
Organisms without a nucleus
(Prokayotic) are in both
Archaea and Bacteria
The 3 domains were
proposed because of new
evidence. The Prokayotae
were into two domains as
evidence showed large
differences between
Archaea and Bacteria
Molecular
evidence -
Based on
differences in
RNA
Cell
membrane
evidence -
Differences in
bonds of
lipids
