1 Classification Mr. Hamilton Go to Section:

2 The Challenge Biologists have identified and named approximately 1.5 million species so far. They estimate that between 2 and 100 million species have yet to be identified.

3 Finding Order in Diversity
1. Why Classify? To study the diversity of life To organize and name organisms 2. Why give scientific names? Common names are misleading jellyfish silverfish star fish None of these animals are fish! Go to Section:

4 Why Scientists Assign Scientific Names to Organisms
Some organisms have several common names This cat is commonly known as: Florida panther Mountain lion Puma Cougar Scientific name: Felis concolor Scientific name means “coat of one color” Go to Section:

5 Origin of Scientific Names
By the 18th century, scientists realized that naming organisms with common names was confusing. Scientists during this time agreed to use a single name for each species. They used Latin and Greek languages for scientific names.

6 Linnaeus: The Father of Modern Taxonomy
1732: Carolus Linnaeus developed system of classification – binomial nomenclature Two name naming system Gave organisms 2 names Genus (noun) and species (adjective) Rules for naming organisms 1. Written in Latin (unchanging) 2. Genus capitalized, species lowercase 3. Both names are italicized or underlined EX: Homo sapiens: wise / thinking man Carolus Linnaeus Go to Section:

7 Linnaeus’s System of Hierarchy
Least specific Kingdom Which of the following contains all of the others? Family c. Class Species d. Order Based on their names, you know that the baboons Papio annubis and Papio cynocephalus do not belong to the same: Family c. Order Genus d. Species Phylum Class Order Family Genus Most specific Species Go to Section:

8 Binomial Nomenclature Example
For example, the polar bear is named Ursus maritimus. The genus, Ursus, describes a group of closely related bear species. In this example, the species, maritimus, describes where the polar bear lives—on pack ice floating on the sea.

9 Modern Classification
Linnaeus grouped species into larger taxa, such as genus and family, based on visible similarities. Darwin’s ideas about “descent with modification” evolved into the study of phylogeny, or evolutionary relationships among organisms.

10 Modern Classification
Modern biologists group organisms into categories representing lines of evolutionary descent. Species within a genus are more closely related to each other than to species in another genus. Genus: Felis Genus: Canis

11 Similarities in DNA and RNA
Scientists use similarities and differences in DNA to determine classification and evolutionary relationships. They can sequence or “read” the information coded in DNA to compare organisms.

12 Kingdoms and Domains In the 18th century, Linnaeus originally proposed two kingdoms: Animalia and Plantae. By the 1950s, scientists expanded the kingdom system to include five kingdoms.

13 The Five Kingdom System
1 2 3 4 5

14 The Six Kingdom System In recent years, biologists have recognized that the Monera are composed of two distinct groups. As a result, the kingdom Monera has now been separated into two kingdoms: Eubacteria and Archaebacteria, resulting in a six-kingdom system of classification.

15 The Three-Domain System
Scientists can group modern organisms by comparing ribosomal RNA to determine how long they have been evolving independently. This type of molecular analysis has resulted in a new taxonomic category—the domain.

16 The Three Domains The three domains, which are larger than the kingdoms, are the following: Eukarya – protists, fungi, plants and animals Bacteria – which corresponds to the kingdom Eubacteria. Archaea – which corresponds to the kingdom Archaebacteria.

17 Classification of Living Things
The three-domain system Bacteria Archaea Eukarya The six-kingdom system Eubacteria Archae- bacteria Protista Plantae Fungi Animalia Amoeba Slime mold -Common Bacteria (Staph, Strep, etc.) Ancient Bacteria: (live in hot springs or deep ocean vents) -Flowering Plants -Mosses -Ferns -Cone-Bearing Plants -Mushrooms -Yeast -Molds -Mammals -Insects -Birds -Fish -Worms -Sponges
