Classifying Organisms.
scentines use the classification of organisms to determine what to call them.
with so many organisms it would be hard to study them all at the same time so that is why they split them up
they split them into groups so they can study them with orangsims that are alike.
the naming system of Linnaeus.
in the 1750's a Swedish naturalist devised a system of naming the organisms that system is still used today.
Genus and species
A Genus is a classification of grouping for the organisms different organisms go into the genus.
the Genius contains similar organisms
Species are a group of similar organisms that mate with each other and can reproduce.
Using Binomial Nomenclature.
using it makes it easier for scentines to communicate about organisms because everyone uses the same scientific name.
many animals have the same one depending on their sizes and DNA.
the words they use contain Latin words.
Levels of Classification.
The classification system that scientists use today is based on on their contributions of Linnaeus.
so depending on how big or small your contribution is that is how you get classified.
The more levels you share with other the more in common you have with them.
The major levels of Classification.
The more classification levels that two organisms share, the more characterisitcs they have in common.
Taxonomic keys.
Taxonomic keys are useful tools for determining the identity of organisms.
Field guide are books with illustrator with the highlight diffrce between similar-looking organisms.
Darwin theory.
Darwin studied the islander's finches. Darwin collected data for his theory's.
his research and process by which species gradually chance over time is called evolution.
his research discovered a new spices.
classification today.
species with similar evolutionary histories are classified more closely together.
