1. This document contains questions in a PowerPoint Jeopardy format covering topics related to biological classification including homology, convergence, parallelism, species concepts, and approaches to classification. 2. The questions range from easy true/false questions to definitions of key terms to evaluating statements about species evolution and relationships. 3. The document covers concepts that help distinguish evolutionary relationships between organisms such as homologous and analogous structures, examples of convergent and parallel evolution, and approaches used in taxonomy and phylogenetics.

2. Category 1 – 10 points True/False: The greater the degree of physical similarity, the closer the biological relationship.

3. Category 1 – 20 points What is the definition of: Anatomical features of different organisms that have a similar appearance or function because they were inherited from a common ancestor that also had them.

4. Category 1 – 30 points Define Homplasies

5. Category 1 – 40 points Name one of the causes for Homoplasies

6. Category 1 – 50 points Define Parallelism

7. Category 2 – 10 points Define Convergence

8. Category 2 – 20 points True/False: Both parallelism and convergence are thought to be due primarily to separate species lines experiencing the same kinds of natural selection pressures over long periods of time

9. Category 2 – 30 points Define Analogies

10. Category 2 – 40 points True/False: Analogies may be due to homologies or homoplasies

11. Category 2 – 50 points Give an example of Analogous Species

12. Category 3 – 10 points True/False: Species never evolve

13. Category 3 – 20 points Define the Splitter Approach

14. Category 3 – 30 points Define the Lumper Approach

15. Category 3 – 40 points What is a problem associated with the Lumper Approach?

16. Category 3 – 50 points True/False: Members of very closely related species can sometimes produce offspring together

17. Category 4 – 10 points True/False: Can Mules be fertile?

18. Category 4 – 20 points What is commonly being used to distinguish species?

19. Category 4 – 30 points What is a problem with DNA Sequencing?

20. Category 4 – 40 points True/False: Morphological Characteristics are the most commonly used criteria for distinguishing species?

21. Category 4 – 50 points True/False: It is assumed that the more homologies two organisms share, the closer they must be in terms of evolutionary distance

22. Category 5 – 10 points What is the Linnaean System for classifying species?

23. Category 5 – 20 points What is missing from this List? Kingdom, Phylum, Order, Family, Genus, Species

24. Category 5 – 30 points What is the Cladistics Approach to classification?

25. Category 5 – 40 points What are derived traits?

26. Category 5 – 50 points What are primitive traits?
