Classification of Living Things

What is classification? w Classification is the grouping of living organisms according to similar characteristics w The science of classifying organisms is known as taxonomy

Early classification systems w Aristotle grouped animals according to the way they moved

The modern system of classification has 7 levels: w Kingdom w Phylum w Class w Order w Family w Genus w Species

Helpful way to remember the 7 levels w Kings Play Cards On Fat Green Stools. w King Philip Came Over For Green Skittles.

Binomial Nomenclature w Developed by Carolus Linnaeus w Two-name system w Each organism has a genus and a species name w First name (genus); second name (species)

What rules are used to write scientific names? w An organism’s genus is always written first; the organism’s species is always written second w The genus is capitalized; the species is written in lower case w Scientific names of organisms are always italicized
