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?

1. 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.

to be an essay just a paragraph or two, with reference in APA

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

2. 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.
