Classification of Living Things

The Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus developed the simplified system of naming and categorizing organisms. ( ) Linnaeus’s system for naming organisms is called binomial nomenclature.

Scientists classify all living things with seven names, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species.

Levels of Classification Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

Animal Chordata Mammalia Carnivore Canidae Canis familiaris Animal Chordata Amphibia Anura Ranidia Rana catesbiana Animal Chordata Mammalia Carnivore Canidae Canis latrans Plant Spermatophyta Dicotoledoneae Rosales Rosaceae Rosa ordoratus

Six Kingdoms Animal Plant Protista Fungi Archeabacteria Eubacteria

The first letter of a genus name is always upper case and the first letter of the species name is always lower case.

The unique two-word name for a species is its scientific name. The genus is based on an organisms major characteristics The Species names identifies one particular kind of organism within the Genus.

1. collard lizard a. Graptemys geographica 2. praying mantis b. Yucca aloifolio 3. Indian elephant c. Mantis religosia 4. Map turtle d. Crotaphytus collaris 5. Yucca plant e. Elephas maximus

Species- Organisms that are able to mate and have fertile offspring. Examples of non-species: Female Horse–Male Donkey = ‘Mule’ Male Horse–Female Donkey = ‘Hinny’ Zebra–Donkey = ‘Zedonk’ or ‘Zebrass’

The first letter of the genus name is always upper case and the first letter of the species name is always lower case. The universal language of classification is Latin
