Created by C. Ippolito May 2006 Why Classify Biologists use a classification system to name organisms and group them in a logical manner Taxonomy The branch of biology that classifies and assigns organisms a universally accepted name
Created by C. Ippolito May 2006 Early Efforts at Naming Organisms early scientific names described in details names were too long common names - used by local people was too confusing too many names mountain lion, puma, cougar, panther, Indian cat
Created by C. Ippolito May 2006 Binomial Nomenclature Caroleus Linnaeus Swedish botanist proposed new system Binomial Nomenclature each species assigned a two part scientific name genus – a Latin noun identifying organism species – a Latin adjective describing the “type”
Created by C. Ippolito May 2006 Linnaeus’s System of Classification Taxon a group or level of organization Linnaeus’s system uses SEVEN (7) taxonomic levels kingdom phylum class order genus species
