What is classification
Is the grouping of organism based on a set of criteria
What is taxonomy
Is a discipline of biology concerned with identifying, naming species based on natural relationships
Taxonomic categories
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
What is Binomial nomenclature
It gives each species a scientific name, first part is the genus, and the second part is the specific epithet
What Did Aristotle for classification
Developed the first widely accepted biological classification system.
What did Linnaeus for classification
used a morphology and behavior to classify plants and animals
Binomial nomenclature uses…
uses the latin genus and specis to give an organismis a scientific name
what is a domain

what is kingdom
kingdom is the taxon composed of related phyla or divisions.
what is a phylum
contains related classes
what is a class
contains related orders
what is a order
contains related familys
what is a family

binomial rules
- genus name first letter always capitalized
- printed book name written in italics
- written by hand both names underlined
- the genus name when finished written all completely the first name is abbreviated.
what is a phylogeny
is the evolutionary history of a species
what is typological species concept
classification is determined by the comparison of physical characteristics with a type specimen.
what is biological species conept
classification is determined by similar characterisitcs and the ability to interbreed and produces fertile offspring
what is phylogenetic species concept
classification is determined by evolutionary history
What is a molecular clock
is a model that is used to compare DNA sequences from two different speciers
Cladistics
It is a method that classifies organisms according to the order that they diverged from a common ancestor
Cladogram
Is a branching diagram that represents the propose philogeny or evolutionary history of a species or a group
The tree of life
Has 3 domains (Eubacteria and Archaea, which re Prokaryotic) and 4 eukaryotic kingdoms (Animalia, plantae, fungi, and Protista)
Does the definition of species have changed?
YES
