Period______
1. Define: Taxonomy and Classification
Taxonomy – grouping and naming according to characteristics/evolutionary history
Class – grouping according to similarities
2. Describe how Aristotle classified organisms.
Plants (herb, shrub, tree) vs animals (land, air, water)
3. Describe Linnaeus’s classification system.
Based on morphology, plants vs animals, used binomial nomenclature
4. Define Binomial Nomenclature and discuss who came up with it.
2 part naming system: Genus species or Genus species
5. Discuss the difference between the common name and the scientific name. Be sure to describe how to properly write them out.
Common name = different among people, communities, countries, etc.
Scientific = Latin (unchanging), Genus species or Genus species
6. Name 4 traits used to classify organisms.
Structure, phylongeny, development, biochemistry, behavior patterns
7. List 4 reasons why Latin is used for the scientific name.
Universal language, no slang, unchanging, no mistake about what is being described, genus and species to show relationship
8. List the 7 Taxa levels of classification and the matching Human Taxa levels.
