1 Taxonomy and Classification Kingdoms

2 Basics of Taxonomy Taxonomy- branch of biology that studies the classification of organisms into increasingly specific groups Aristotle- First to classify by habitat (350 B.C.) John Ray- developed the modern concept of the species (1600’s) Linnaeus- Swedish botanist, came up with Binomial Nomenclature ( Genus species ) His system is used today

3 Scientific Name: The Proper Form Binomial Nomenclature- “two names” Both words are underlined if written If typed, both words are italicized. Genus is capitalized and the species portion of the name is lowercase Homo sapiensor Homo sapiens

4 Classification Hierarchey The hierarchey of humans Kingdom:Animalia Phylum:Chordata Class:Mammalia Order:Primates Family:Hominidae Genus: Homo (man) Species: sapiens (thinking) Remember K ing P hillip C ame O ver F or G reen S paghetti

5 Criteria for Modern Taxonomy Structure: (comparative anatomy) Homologous and Analogous structures Physiology: (comparative biochemistry) hemoglobin, hormones, enzymes, processes (respiration) Fossils: Carbon dating Genetic Similarities: DNA comparison Comparative Embryology: comparing embryonic development

6 Five Kingdom Survey MoneraProtistaFungiPlantaeAnimalia Prokaryotic - no nucleus Single-celled Eukaryotic- has nucleus Single & Multicellular Eukaryotic- has nucleus Single & Multicellular Eukaryotic- has nucleus Multicellular Eukaryotic- has nucleus Multicellular Some Move Don’t Move Some Move Some make their own food; others get it from other organisms All members get food from other organisms All members make their own food Members eat plants or other animals for food
