12 Carolous (Carl) Linneaus 1707-1778 Swedish Botanist, Zoologist and Physician

13 Two word naming system developed by Carl Linneaus in the 1750’s

14 Bi- = Two -nomial = name

15 Genus

16 The first word in the scientific name.

17 Genus The first word in the scientific name. Contains similar, closely related organisms

18 Genus The first word in the scientific name. Contains similar, closely related organisms Example: Canis = Dog Panthera = Lions and Tigers

19 Genus The first word in the scientific name. Contains similar, closely related organisms Example: Canis = Dog Panthera = Lions and Tigers species

20 Genus The first word in the scientific name. Contains similar, closely related organisms Example: Canis = Dog Panthera = Lions and Tigers The second word in the scientific name species

21 Genus The first word in the scientific name. Contains similar, closely related organisms Example: Canis = Dog Panthera = Lions and Tigers The second word in the scientific name Describes a distinctive feature in an organism species

22 Genus The first word in the scientific name. Contains similar, closely related organisms Example: Canis = Dog, Wolf Panthera = Lions and Tigers The second word in the scientific name Describes a distinctive feature in an organism Is a group of similar organisms that can mate with each other and produce offspring that can also mate and reproduce species

24 1. The complete scientific name is written in italics or is underlined!!!

25 2. Only the first letter of the first word in a scientific name is capitalized.

26 1. The complete scientific name is written in italics or is underlined!!! 2. Only the first letter of the first word in a scientific name is capitalized. 3. Scientific names use Latin because it is the only language that scientists used during that time. Homo sapiens

28 a) The more classification levels that two organisms share, the more characteristics they have in common.

29 1. Domain – highest level of organization

30 2. Kingdom

31 1. Domain – highest level of organization 2. Kingdom 3. Phylum (or phyla, which is plural)

32 1. Domain – highest level of organization 2. Kingdom 3. Phylum (or phyla, which is plural) 4. Class

33 1. Domain – highest level of organization 2. Kingdom 3. Phylum (or phyla, which is plural) 4. Class 5. Order

34 1. Domain – highest level of organization 2. Kingdom 3. Phylum (or phyla, which is plural) 4. Class 5. Order 6. Family

35 1. Domain – highest level of organization 2. Kingdom 3. Phylum (or phyla, which is plural) 4. Class 5. Order 6. Family 7. Genus

36 1. Domain – highest level of organization 2. Kingdom 3. Phylum (or phyla, which is plural) 4. Class 5. Order 6. Family 7. Genus 8. Species

37 1. Domain – highest level of organization 2. Kingdom – broadest category 3. Phylum – (or phyla, which is plural) 4. Class 5. Order 6. Family 7. Genus 8. Species – most specific category
