Taxonomy - the scientific discipline concerned with naming organisms Phylogeny - is the evolutionary history of a species or group of related species. Systematics - the scientific discipline focused on classifying organisms based on phylogeny. Carolus Linnaeus - -Swedish "father of taxonomy" -Published *Systema Naturae -assigned organisms a two part name called binomial -contained names and classification of most known plants and animals of the early 1700's

adventituous root - emerges from the stem right above the ground to help support plants in shallow soils allopatric speciation - occurs when subpopulations are separated by some physical barrier. The two subpopulations remain reproductively isolated (no gene flow) and, over time, diverge from each other Angiosperms - Vascular plants with fruit-covered seeds The fruit increases the protection and dispersal of seeds; the largest number of species of all plants. 1. Flower: a major innovation...
