KEY Taxonomy Using your notes on taxonomy, fill in the following blanks with the term that fits. 1.) The _species__ is the most general of the five taxa. 2.) If two organisms are in the same kingdom, must they belong to the same phylum? __No__ 3.) If several organisms contain the same class characteristics, must they belong to the same phylum? ___Yes___ 4.) Linnaeus gave two names to each of the organisms he studied. This type of naming is called __binomial___ _____nomenclature____. 5.) The most specific part of a scientific name is the ____species____. 6.) If two organisms belong in the same order, must they belong to the same family? __No__ 7.) In the scientific name, the first letter of the ____genus___ must be capitalised. 8.) The scientific name must be ____underlined___ or italicized. Read the following statement, examine the data, graph it, and then answer the questions that follow. The number of shark species varies with the temperature of the environment. Some sharks are not found in areas where the water is too cold, or too warm. The reasons for this occurrence are varied. Some biologists believe temperature affects the abundance of the shark’s food supply. Below find data collected over a period of one year in an area off the coast of Long Island, N.Y. Temperature ℃ 15 18 20 25 30 White Shark 22 18 10 9 2 Hammerhead Shark 5 12 18 4 2 Tiger Shark 8 11 15 25 22 1.) What is the dependent variable? _____shark amounts_____ 2.) Based on the above data, which species of shark prefers warm water? ___tiger shark___ 3.) What is the average number of shark species at 20℃? ___21.5 = 22___ 4.) Of the three different species of shark, which is the most abundant? ___tiger shark___ 5.) What is the mean temperature of the above experiment? ____21.6°____ 6.) Do the three species of shark prefer the same type of food? _unknown_ Explain your answer. Data does not give detail on shark diet. However, the article does allude to the temperature affecting the food supply with each shark liking different temperatures and thus probably different food. 1 KEY Temperature Effect on Shark KEY White Shark ________ Hammerhead ________ Tiger Shark 21 18 15 12 9 6 3 0 Number of Sharks 24 27 30 33 ________ 15 20 25 30 Water Temperature ሺ℃ሻ 2
