classification

Question 1

classification

Answer 1

the divison of organisms into groups or classes base on characterists

Question 2

taxonomy

Answer 2

the science of describing,naming, and classifying organisms.

Question 3

kingdom

Answer 3

a person who rules a country or whatever

Question 4

phylum

Answer 4

the primary subdivision of a taxonomic kingdom, grouping together all classes of organisms that have the same body plan.

Question 5

class

Answer 5

a taxonomic rank. Other well-known ranks in descending order of size are life, domain, kingdom, phylum, order, family, genus, and species, with class fitting between phylum and order.

Question 6

order

Answer 6

a taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms and recognized by the nomenclature codes. Other well-known ranks are life, domain, kingdom, phylum, class, family, genus, and species, with order fitting in between class and family.

Question 7

family

Answer 7

it is classified between order and genus.

Question 8

genus

Answer 8

) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms in biology. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family.

Question 9

species

Answer 9

The species is the fundamental category of taxonomic classification, ranking below a genus or subgenus.

Question 10

animalia

Answer 10

Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Animalia (also called Metazoa). All animals are motile, meaning they can move spontaneously and independently, at some point in their lives.

Question 11

chordata

Answer 11

The Chordata is the animal phylum with which everyone is most intimately familiar, since it includes humans and other vertebrates. However, not all chordates are vertebrates.

Question 12

mammalia

Answer 12

warm-blooded vertebrates characterized by mammary glands in the female

Question 13

primate

Answer 13

A primate is a mammal of the order Primates. In taxonomy, primates include two distinct lineages, strepsirrhines and haplorhines.

Question 14

hominind

Answer 14

a primate of a family ( Hominidae ) that includes humans and their fossil ancestors.

Question 15

Linneaus

Answer 15

Swedish botanist, who established the binomial system of biological nomenclature that forms the basis of modern classification

Question 16

Dichotomous Key

Answer 16

A dichotomous key is a tool that allows the user to determine the identity of items in the natural world, such as trees, wildflowers, mammals, reptiles, rocks, and fish.

Question 17

Domain

Answer 17

In biological taxonomy, a domain (also superregnum, superkingdom, empire, or regio) is the highest taxonomic rank of organisms in the three-domain system of taxonomy designed by Carl Woese, an American microbiologist and biophysicist.

Question 18

Archaebacteria

Answer 18

a group of microorganisms, including the methanogens and certain halophiles and thermoacidophiles, that have RNA sequences, coenzymes, and a cell wall composition that are different from all other organisms: considered to be an ancient form of life that evolved separately from the bacteria and blue-green algae and sometimes classified as a kingdom.

Question 19

bacteria

Answer 19

Bacteria constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria have a number of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals.

Question 20

Protista

Answer 20

In some biological taxonomy schemes, protists were a large group of diverse eukaryotic, mainly unicellular microorganisms, that do not form tissues. Formerly, these were assigned to the now-obsolete kingdom Protista.

Question 21

fungi

Answer 21

A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes unicellular microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as multicellular fungi that produce familiar fruiting forms known as mushrooms.

Question 22

plantae

Answer 22

Plants, also called green plants, are multicellular eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.
