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>Zoology</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>How reliable is molecular taxonomy?</title><link>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/how-reliable-is-molecular-taxonomy/</link> <comments>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/how-reliable-is-molecular-taxonomy/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:58:26 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Zoology</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Taxonomy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Advantages]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Disadvantages]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Molecular Taxonomy]]></category><guid
isPermaLink="false">http://biology-today.com/?p=1264</guid> <description><![CDATA[This is a large question that has been very controversial, but as  more and more animals are studied using an increasing number of different molecules, confidence in molecular taxonomy is growing fast also. An indication of the advantages and disadvantages of using molecules may still be useful. Advantages 1.   Hie equivalence of data, since the [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/how-reliable-is-molecular-taxonomy/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>How is molecular information obtained for molecular phylogeny?</title><link>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/how-is-molecular-information-obtained-for-molecular-phylogeny/</link> <comments>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/how-is-molecular-information-obtained-for-molecular-phylogeny/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:35:40 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Zoology</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Taxonomy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cladistic analysis]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DNA hybridisation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Gene products]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Molecular Taxonomy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Phenetic analysis]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sequencing of nucleotides]]></category><guid

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>Zoology</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=405</guid> <description><![CDATA[The primary aim of a taxonomist must be the construction of classes of living things about which scientifically useful inductive generalisations can be made. Many workers have enumerated various aims and tasks of a taxonomists. For the sake of convenience to readers, there are summarised below. 1.

isPermaLink="false">http://biology-today.com/?p=402</guid> <description><![CDATA[It is now well-known that taxonomy of a given group passes through several stages. These stages are referred to as alpha (analytical phase), beta (synthetic phase), and gamma (biological phase) taxonomy. Alpha taxonomy is the level at which the species are characterised and named; beta taxonomy refers to the arrangement of the species into a [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/stages-in-taxonomy/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Taxonomy and Systematics</title><link>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/taxonomy-and-systematics/</link> <comments>http://biology-today.com/taxonomy/taxonomy-and-systematics/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:58:54 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Zoology</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Taxonomy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[systematics]]></category><guid
isPermaLink="false">http://biology-today.com/?p=400</guid> <description><![CDATA[The word taxonomy is derived from the Greek words taxis (= arrangement) and numos (=law). It was first coined by A.P. de Candolle, a Professor of Montpellier University in France, in his Botany treatise in 1813, as a French Word "Taxononomie", evidently formed on the analogue of astronomie, economie, agronomie and other similar words.
