2 Taxonomy

3 Taxonomy Classification and naming of living things

4 1700’s: Carolus Linnaeus Grouped organisms in hierarchical categories based on structural similarities. Devised a 2-part system to give organisms a scientific name.

5 Binomial Nomenclature 2 – part naming system. 1 st part: Genus (generic) 2 nd part: species (specific) Written in italics and genus is capitalized. Example: humans- Homo sapien

6 Modern Linnaean System Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species “King Phillip Came Over For Good Soup”

7 HumansEukaryaAnimaliaChordataMammaliaPrimataHomindaeHomoSapien Homo sapien

8 DandelionsEukaryaPlantaeMagnoliophytaMagnoliopsidaAsteralesAsteraceaeTaraxacumOfficinale Taraxacum officinale

9 Dichotomous Key Used to classify and identify organisms based on observable characteristics, such as structure and behavior. Lists specific characteristics in opposing pairs.
