Epilepsy and Behaviour - An Overview
“Epilepsy and mental disorder are two states of illness of the very closest relationship; they represent identical pathological conditions in two different areas of the nervous system”
Binomial Classification of Animals and Taxonomy
Classification groups organisms based on similarities and arranges them in a logical, hierarchical order. The fundamental unit of classification is the taxon, with species being the lowest taxon and kingdom being the highest. Organisms are identified using their binomial scientific name, consisting of the genus and specific epithet. Phylogenetic trees show hypothesized evolutionary relationships between taxa based on evidence from fossils, morphology, embryology, and DNA. Dichotomous keys use a series of choices to identify organisms based on distinguishing characteristics.

Organism Profile
Assignment Instructions
:
You will write an organism profile based on literature researched about your chosen organism.
Research should come from scientific information on the internet and research articles at the APUS library. Your paper should include, but not be limited to, the following topics:
1.
Introduction/background information about the species
-
Include common and scientific names of the organism, the area you and this species live (country, state, city, etc.), the area’s biome classification, etc.
2.
Life cycle of the species
-
Describe the life cycle of the organism you have chosen. The life cycle of an organism refers to the series of changes in both development and growth from its beginnings as an independent life form up until maturity, when it is able to reproduce. Organisms like bacteria have relatively simple life cycles; however other organisms (e.g., plants) have very complex stages to their life cycle.
3.
Structure and Function
-
Describe the structure and function of at least one major organ system of the species (e.g., digestive system, reproductive system). Choose one system and explain how this organism’s system is structured anatomically and physiologically. Identify any species-specific characteristics or adaptations that are particularly unique to this organism and explain why.
4.
Evolution of the organism

Evolution is simply heritable change over time. Sometimes changes from one generation to the next can give individuals an advantage. Specifically a trait that increases reproductive success or survival ability could be advantageous. Include a section in your profile paper about your organism’s evolution. Here are possible ways to research the topic:
a.
Conduct a review of scientific literature to understand what is known about your organism’s past evolution. Search key words may include evolution, fossil, ancestor. Often technical reports from wildlife and
conservation agencies have
descriptions of an organism’s evolution.
b.
Summarize research on any adaptive traits. Search key words include adaptation, evolution, trait, and character.
c.
Find an article on the family tree or phylogeny of your organism. Summarize the information describing related species. Search key words might include phylogeny, phylogenetic, and genetic analysis
.
d.
Use the
Tree of Life Project
to describe the phylogeny of your organism. Start at species, if possible, and trace back to the root. In addition to your summary, include any interesting patterns or unknown data.

Principle of classification of living things
The document discusses the principles of classification of living things according to Carolus Linnaeus. It provides background on classification systems, including that classification involves grouping organisms based on similarities. It describes Linnaeus' contributions, including establishing a hierarchical classification system with seven main categories (kingdom to species) and developing binomial nomenclature using two-word scientific names. The document also discusses concepts like homology, analogy, taxonomy and challenges in classifying organisms.
Classification
This document discusses the classification of organisms. It explains that scientists classify living things to organize and study them more easily. Early systems like Aristotle's grouped animals based on how they moved, but Linnaeus improved on this by classifying organisms according to observable features. His system uses binomial nomenclature, giving each organism a two-part scientific name. Organisms are classified into seven main levels from broadest (kingdom) to most specific (species). The document provides an example of classifying a brown squirrel through these seven levels.
Classification/Science
This document outlines a science unit for 5th grade on cells and kingdoms that will be covered over the course of one week. Each day focuses on a different topic: Monday covers cells, Tuesday covers classifying life into kingdoms, Wednesday compares animals and plants, Thursday looks at non-animal kingdoms like plants and fungi, and Friday discusses viruses. Learning objectives, vocabulary words, activities, and assessments are provided for each day.
Discussion Question 1Select one species of organism that is intere.docx
Discussion Question 1
Select one species of organism that is interesting to you (try to pick something different from your classmates’ choices---you only have about two million to choose from). Show the hierarchy of classification for the organism you choose from Domain through to binomial name (genus and species). Be sure to write the names in correct format and to spell correctly.
What are the nearest relatives of your chosen species? How do the levels of classification for your species trace the major evolutionary steps the ancestors of your species took over time? Be prepared to discuss similarities and differences in the evolution of diversity in the examples chosen by your classmates.
I want to do this on a Horse. Basic information. Does not need to be an essay just a paragraph or two, with reference in APA format.
Discussion Question 2
Over the long period of time that life has existed on Earth, there have been a number of important or significant innovations including (but not limited to) endosymbiosis to create mitochondria and chloroplasts; multicellularity; adaptation to land by plants and animals; development of exoskeletons in arthropods, shells in molluscs, and notochords followed by vertebral columns in chordates and vertebrates; and bipedalism in the ancestry of humans. All of these had to come about by natural selection in response to changing environmental forces.
Pick one of these significant innovations and describe:
How the innovation appears to have happened
What environmental challenges were met and overcome by this innovation, and
What opportunities were opened for the organism that made this innovation.
Be prepared to discuss the general concept of innovation and opportunity in response to selective challenges in life and how this can greatly increase biodiversity over time.
This does not need to be an essay. Just a paragraph or two with reference.

KAG B303.pptx
This document discusses the concepts of systematics and classification in biology. It defines key terms like taxonomy, nomenclature, and systematics. Classification involves ordering organisms into a hierarchical structure with categories like phylum, class, order, and species. The species is the fundamental unit of classification, defined as a group that can interbreed but is reproductively isolated from other groups. Higher categories are human constructs used for organization. Scientific naming follows set conventions, with each species given a unique binomial name. Classification allows comparison of organisms and predictions about their relationships and traits.

Are species natural?
This document discusses the concept of species and whether they can be considered natural or not. It begins by outlining the history of how species were viewed by early biologists like Buffon and Linnaeus. It then discusses criticisms of the biological species concept and evidence that species are not fully reproductively isolated. The document explores different outcomes of hybridization and considers whether species should be viewed as a taxonomic rank. It analyzes what is meant by "natural" in taxonomy and discusses the multiple meanings of terms like species, natural and kind. The document concludes by considering species as concepts that represent patterns in nature but whose boundaries are defined by human naming practices.
Are species natural?
This document discusses the concept of species and whether they can be considered natural or not. It begins by outlining the history of how species were viewed by early biologists like Buffon and Linnaeus. It then discusses criticisms of the biological species concept and evidence that species are not fully reproductively isolated. The document explores different outcomes of hybridization and whether species should be considered a defined rank. It questions what exactly is meant by "natural" and discusses the multiple meanings of terms like species, natural, and kind. Overall, the document examines the complex relationship between species names, definitions, and the actual populations/groups in nature they aim to describe.
Living world.pptx
This document discusses the key characteristics of living things, including nutrition, respiration, movement, excretion, growth, reproduction, and sensitivity. It also describes the hierarchical classification system used to classify organisms into kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera and species based on their evolutionary relationships and homologous structures. The document contrasts natural classification based on evolutionary relationships with artificial classification, and explains Carl Linnaeus' binomial system of scientific naming which assigns each species a two-part Latin name based on its genus and species.
