What is classification? Classification is the grouping of living organisms according to similar structures and functions.

Binomial Nomenclature Developed by Carolus Linnaeus Two-name system: First name is the organism’s genus Second name is the organism’s species

What rules are used to write scientific names? The first letter of the genus is ALWAYS capitalized The first letter of the species is NEVER capitalized Scientific names of organisms are always italicized or underlined

The modern classification system : Developed by Carolus Linnaeus Consists of 8 levels: Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
