Classification of Life

Learning Objectives Describe how living things are organized for study Explain binomial nomenclature

Species of Organisms There are over 13 billion known species of organisms living today.

Taxonomy aka Classification Arrangement of organisms into orderly groups based on their similarities

Classification Groups Broadest Most Specific Taxon - A category into which related organisms are placed

Confusion in the Languages

Latin Names Latin names are understood by all taxonomists

Binomial Nomenclature Human: Homo sapien Wolf: Canus lupus A two word naming system: Genus and species

Standardized Naming Capitalize Genus but not species Italicize both Turdus migratorius Capitalize Genus but not species Italicize both American Robin

Which two are more closely related? Polar bear and Grizzly bear
