Darwin's Theory of Evolution states that groups of organisms will undergo genetic
changes over time due to the process of natural selection. Darwin's theory says
that organisms which are most fit for their environment survive while unfit
organisms die, changing the genetics of a species until that species is well
adapted for its environment. Variations in a species' genetics that lead to
evolution often come from mutations.

Classification Overview (4:26)

In Biology, classification is the way to organize
living things based on evolutionary relationships. Traditionally, we organize
species into the standard hierarchy of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family
and genus.

Cladistics:

Brightstorm Classification

A phylogenetic tree is a branching diagram
that shows evolutionary relationships. These trees, often compared to family
trees, are constructed using a variety of evidence generally using DNA. In
phylogenetic trees, sometimes the lengths of the branches represent time since
a group split from each other.

 

Cladistics is the method of classifying organisms into
groups called clades. Clades consist of an ancestor organism and all of it's
decedents and one branch is the tree of life. Cladograms are diagrams that show
relationships within a clade.

Classification

Like the Animal Kingdom, the Plant Kingdom is also
a major part of the Linnaean system of classification that includes organisms
like trees, bushes and grasses. The plants in this kingdom can be called
autotrophs because they perform photosynthesis to provide food for themselves.
These organisms also provide oxygen for humans and animals to survive.

Unlike the organisms of
the Archaea or Monera Kingdoms, the Animal Kingdom
consists of multi-cellular, heterotrophic organisms that feed on other
organisms to survive. Some of the characteristics of the animals in this
kingdom are being able to develop throughout their lives, move independently
and reproducing.

The protist kingdom is a classification that includes a
diverse group of eukaryotic organisms. Typically, protists reproduce asexually
via mitosis and range from unicellular to multicellular organisms. In the
protist kingdom, there are two main groups: protozoa (which are generally
heterotrophic) and algae (which are generally autotrophic). Organisms in the
protozoa group include things like amoebas, slime molds and paramecium while
common organisms in the algae group include green algae, brown algae, diatoms
and euglena.

The Fungi
Kingdom
consists of plant-like organisms with small nuclei such
as yeast, bread mold and mushrooms. Many of the organisms in the Fungi Kingdom
can cause disease, but some are helpful as they are used to make things like
antibiotics and yeast. Most of the organisms in this kingdom are parasitic and
receive nutrients from surfaces they live on.

The Bacteria Kingdom, formerly
called monera, are single celled prokaryotic organisms. Bacteria encompass two
domains: eubacteria and archaea. Eubacteria and archaea have very different
cell walls. They are also distinguished by their DNA - the DNA
of archaea has histone proteins while that of eubacteria does not.
