Classification of Living Things Mod.B U.1 L.5

Organized, Easier to study Why Do We Classify? Allows us (scientists) to keep track of the 3 to 10 million different living things on Earth! Organized, Easier to study

Classification: Is the systematic grouping of organisms into categories on the basis of evolutionary (or genetic) relationships or physical appearance - shared traits

The Science of classifying is called “Taxonomy” People have been classifying for nearly 2,000 years!

Classification - Scientific Naming □Carolus Linnaeus •The “Father of Taxonomy” •Developed systems for naming species and organizing them into groups •Named over 4000 plants & animals •Used appearance to group species •Used binomial nomenclature

What is Binomial Nomenclature? •“Bi-nomial” = “two” - name •“Nomenclature” = a naming system •Language: Latin

Mountain lion, puma, cougar – Felis concolor Bobcat – Felis rufus •Example: Common house cat – Mountain lion, puma, cougar – Felis concolor Bobcat – Felis rufus Genus species Always capitalized,/ always lower-case Both are always italicized in print •Genus and species are the most specific levels of organization Felis domesticus

Eight Levels of Classification The modern classification system uses several levels to classify organisms. The more characteristics that organisms have in common, the more levels they share.

NEW System Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species OLD System Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

There are 8 levels of classification that describe a species DOMAIN •Kingdom •Phylum •Class •Order •Family •Genus •Species Eukarya Animalia Chordata Mammalia Carnivora Ursidae Ursus maritimus Primate Hominidae Homo sapiens Canidae Canis familiaris The more levels of organization that two organisms share, the more closely related the two organisms are!

6 Kingdoms of Organisms Bacteria (Monera) Archeabacteria Protists Fungi Plants Animals

Branching Diagrams Branching diagrams show the close evolutionary relationships between organisms. As characteristics differ, branches in the diagram form.

Cladograms Common ancestor

Phylogentic (Evolutionary) Tree

Dichotomous Keys Taxonomist have developed special guides know as dichotomous keys to aid in identifying unknown organisms. A dichotomous key consists of several pairs of descriptive statements that have only two responses. Narrow down your choices till specimen is identified
