Biological classification & binomial nomenclature

Bell Ringer – 09/28 1. Are viruses alive or not? How do you know? 2. What is the main difference between a prokaryote and eukaryote? Voice Level 0 Learning Target: We will classify organisms into taxonomic levels and explain how organisms are named scientifically. Closure task: I can determine how closely related species are based on their scientific names.

Agenda Bell Ringer 1. Classification of life 2. Taxonomy 3. Binomial nomenclature

NOTES: CLASSIFICATION 1) Helps us subdivide organisms into groups of similar types based on characteristics 2) Creating classifications can help explain evolutionary relationships. 3) Hierarchical classification: sorted first into large groups, then smaller groups. • The groups are called taxonomic levels

HOW YOU WOULD CLASSIFY THESE? DEFINE A SET OF CRITERIA TO PLACE THESE INTO CATEGORIES, MIN 3 MAX 6 Rule: No one button can be placed in more than one category

DISCUSSION What were your categories? How do they compare with other groups? Same number of categories?

BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION Look at figure 3. 6 on page 76 How are organisms categorized? ? Which level has the most different types of organisms? Which level has the least number of organisms and the least diversity? How many organisms belong to the order Carnivora? How many organisms belong to the family Canidae? What is the most inclusive taxonomic level the Gray Wolf and the Coyote both share? Gorilla & Human?

ORGANISM CARDS Create a simple hierarchical classification of the organism cards. Start by dividing the cards into two groups based on their characteristics. Your goal: Each bird should be in its own group.

BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE We name organisms using their Genus and Species. Universal naming system Examples: Genus species Homo sapiens Boa constrictor Canis familiaris

WHICH OF THESE IS THE FELIS DOMESTICUS MOST RELATED TO? A. Felis concolor B. Felis catus C. Panthera tigris D. Puma concolor

◉Homework

Exit. Bell. Slip Ringer Based on the binomial nomenclature, which organisms are most closely related to Canis familiaris ? How do you know? A) Homo familiaris B) Canis lupus C) Vulpes fulva D) Boa constrictor How did you do? Rate yourself! We will classify organisms into taxonomic levels and explain how organisms are named scientifically. I can determine how closely related species are based on their scientific names
