isPermaLink="false">http://biology-today.com/?p=1796</guid> <description><![CDATA[There are numerous varieties of animals and many persons are engaged in taxonomic work. As such there is every possibility of some confusion in nomenclature. Such a confusion did occur in the past. The same name has been given to different animals and different names have been given to the same animal. Linnaeus used some [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/what-are-the-basis-rules-of-nomenclature/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>What are the categories of classification?</title><link>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/what-are-the-categories-of-classification/</link> <comments>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/what-are-the-categories-of-classification/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 08 Sep 2011 17:51:06 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>wolf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Taxonomy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Categories]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Classification]]></category><guid
isPermaLink="false">http://biology-today.com/?p=1793</guid> <description><![CDATA[The species is the smallest category in classification. Species form a genus, genera a family, families an order, orders a class and the classes are combined into phyla. Several intermediate steps in classification are inserted to clarify the complexities of animal or plant relationships. The class may be divided into sub-classes, each containing several orders; [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/what-are-the-categories-of-classification/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>What is Analogy?</title><link>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/what-is-analogy/</link> <comments>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/what-is-analogy/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 24 Apr 2011 18:38:12 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>wolf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Taxonomy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Analogy]]></category><guid

isPermaLink="false">http://biology-today.com/?p=1385</guid> <description><![CDATA[The study relating to the evolutionary history of groups of organisms is called as Phylogeny. It not only refers to evolutionary origin but also to the pathways followed by organisms in evolution and reflects phylogenetic relationships between organisms. It is often expressed in the form of phylogenetic trees which indicate lines of descent among organisms.

An indication of the advantages and disadvantages of using molecules may still be useful.

Techniques applied to DNA directly are now more commonly used. DNA hybridisation The paired strands of DNA dissociate when heated because the bonds between corresponding nucleotides are broken.

isPermaLink="false">http://biology-today.com/?p=1259</guid> <description><![CDATA[Early work used the proteins which are produced by gene action, but recent work has concentrated on DNA, the genes themselves. Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) The genes coding for the RNA of ribosomes (rRNA), most often the small subunit 18SrRNA, are used (the gene is called 18SrDNA). This gene is very highly conserved, i.e. has changed [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/which-molecules-are-used-for-molecular-taxonomy/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>How can we use molecules to trace phylogeny?</title><link>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/how-can-we-use-molecules-to-trace-phylogeny/</link> <comments>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/how-can-we-use-molecules-to-trace-phylogeny/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:24:31 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>wolf</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Taxonomy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Molecular Taxonomy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Phylogeny]]></category><guid
isPermaLink="false">http://biology-today.com/?p=1256</guid> <description><![CDATA[Recently, interest in phylogeny has received a new impetus, as our  rapidly growing knowledge of genetics and molecular evolution is providing a new approach, a new source of evidence about the course of evolution. Molecules can be used in different ways. For example, theoretically, the total genes of two different species can be compared.

isPermaLink="false">http://biology-today.com/?p=516</guid> <description><![CDATA[International code of Zoological Nomenclature is huge documents of great importance to preserve the given names of different animals and to increase their universality and uniqueness. It includes several clauses and their sub-divisions. It was internationally accepted at the 5th Conference of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, held in Berlin in 1910.
