CHAPTER 26
PHYLOGENY AND SYSTEMATICS
1
Slide22
What are the evolutionary relationships between a human, a mushroom, and a flower?
A phylogeny based on DNA data reveals that animals (including humans) and fungi (including mushrooms) are more closely related to each other than
to plants
.
Slide3OVERVIEW
Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a species or group of species.The discipline of
systematics
classifies organisms and determines evolutionary relationships of living and extinct organisms.
Systematists
use fossil, molecular, and genetic data to infer evolutionary relationships3
Slide4I. Concept 26.1: Classification
4
A. Taxonomy
The ordered division of organisms into categories based similarities and differences
-useful component of systematics
B. Binomial Nomenclature (two word name)
1. First proposed by
Carolus
Linnaeus
in 18
th
century
2. Two main characteristics:
a. Each species has a two-part name.
b. Species are organized hierarchically into broader and broader groups of organisms.
Slide55
3. The first part of the name is the
genus
.
4. The second part, called the specific epithet, is unique for each species within the genus.
5. Ex: Human—
Homo sapiens
which means wise man
C. Hierarchical Classification
1. Groups species into increasingly broad taxonomic categories
2. Taxonomic groups from broad to narrow are:
domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus,
and
species
3. A taxonomic unit at any level of hierarchy is called a
taxon
Slide66
Slide77
D. Phylogenetic Tree
1. Diagram used to show the evolutionary history of a group of organisms
2. Can provide important information about similar characteristics in closely related species
Slide8II. Concept 26. 2: Morphological and Molecular Data
8
A. To infer relationships,
systematists
gather information about morphologies, genes, and biochemistry of living organisms
B. Organisms with similar morphologies or DNA sequences are likely to be more closely related than organisms with different structures or sequences
C. When constructing a phylogeny,
systematists
need to distinguish whether a similarity is the result of
homology
or
analogy
1. Homology
is similarity due to shared ancestry
Ex: bones of a whale’s flipper and a tiger’s paw
9
2. Analogy
is similarity due to convergent evolution
Convergent evolution
occurs when two organisms developed similarities as they adapted to similar environmental challenges—not because they evolved from a common ancestor
Ex: wing of a butterfly is analogous to wing of a bat because both are adaptations for flight
3. Analogous structures or molecular sequences that evolved independently are also called
homoplasies
4. Homology can be distinguished from analogy by comparing fossil evidence and the degree of complexity
5. The more complex two similar structures are, the more likely it is that they are homologous
Slide1010
D.
Molecular systematics
uses DNA and other molecular data to determine evolutionary relationships.
The more alike the DNA sequences of two organisms, the more closely related they are evolutionarily.
Slide11III. Concept 26.3: Constructing Phylogenetic Trees
11
A.
Cladistics
1.
Cladistics
groups organisms by common descent
2. Once homologous characters have been identified, they can be used to infer a phylogeny
3. A
cladogram
depicts patterns of shared characteristics among
taxa
and forms the basis of a phylogenetic tree
4. A
clade
is a group of species that includes an ancestral species and all its descendants
Not all groupings of organisms qualify as clades
5. A valid clade is
monophyletic
, signifying that it consists of the ancestor species and all its descendants
Slide12MONOPHYLETIC GROUP (CLADE)
12
Group I, consisting of 3 species (A, B, C) and their common ancestor (1), is a clade, also called a
monophyletic group
.
A monophyletic group consists of an ancestral species and all of its descendants
1
Slide13PARAPHYLETIC GROUP
13
Group II is
paraphyletic.
A paraphyletic
grouping consists of an ancestral species and some, but not all, of the descendants.In this case Group II consists of an ancestral species (2) and some of its descendants (species D, E, F) but not all of them (missing species G).
2
Slide14POLYPHYLETIC GROUP
14
Group III is
polyphyletic.
A polyphyletic grouping consists of various species that lack a common ancestorIn this case, species D, E, F, and G share common ancestor (2), but species C has a different ancestor (1).

Slide1515
B. Shared Ancestral and Shared Derived Characters
1. A
shared ancestral character
is found not only in the clade being analyzed but also in older clades
Ex: Backbone in vertebrates
2. A
shared derived character
is unique to a particular clade.
Ex: Hair in mammals
3. A character can be both ancestral and derived, depending on the context
4. When inferring evolutionary relationships, it is useful to know in which clade a shared derived character first appeared

Slide17IV. Concept 26.4: Genome Documentation(Not on exam)
17
A. Comparing nucleic acids or other molecules to infer relatedness is a valuable tool for tracing organisms’ evolutionary history
B. DNA that codes for
ribosomal RNA
changes relatively
slowly
and is useful for investigating branching points hundreds of millions of years ago
C.
Mitochondrial (
mt
)DNA
evolves
rapidly
and can be used to explore recent evolutionary events
Slide18V. Concept 26.5: Molecular Clocks(not on exam)
18
Molecular clocks are methods used to measure the absolute time of evolutionary change based on the observation that some genes and other regions of the genome appear to evolve at constant rates.
Slide19VI. Concept 26.6: Three-Domain System

A. Supported by data from many sequenced genomes
B. A Comparison of the Three Domains of Life

Archaea
