CLASSIFICATION OF ORGANISMS
Scientists assign organisms a two-word name. (Binomial nomenclature) ►The history of this started with Aristotle over 2, 000 years ago. He grouped plants & animals together by similar structures.
The science of naming and classifying organisms is called: ►TAXONOMY
In the 1750’s Swedish biologist, Carolus Linnaeus invented binomial nomenclature.
Scientific names must be UNIVERSAL…. ►so Latin is used… it is a “dead” language, so it does not “evolve”.
►Red oak ►Genus ►Quercus ►Scientific name ►Quercus rubra
The system is a seven level grouping: ► ► ► ► 1. Kingdom, contains phyla 2. Phylum, contains classes 3. Class, contains orders 4. Order, contains families 5. Family, contains genera 6. Genus, contains species 7. Species, a group of organisms that can breed
Memorize this list!!!!! ►Kings play chess on fat guys stomachs. ►Kentucky Plants Can Originate From Good Soil (-Marcus Thompson, 2007)
Honey Bees are classified this way: = Animalia ►Phylum = Arthropoda ►Class = Insecta ►Order = Hymenoptera ►Family = Apidae ►Genus = Apis ►Species = Apis mellifera ►Kingdom
TAXONOMY REVEALS EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY ►Convergent evolution means that organisms that live in similar environments evolve similar features. ►These similar features are called analogous characters.
The evolutionary history of a species is called it phylogeny. Scientists use Cladistics to build phylogenies. ►Cladistics is a system of taxonomy that recognizes phylogenies by inferring relationships. ►
