science that deals with naming, describing and classification of all living organisms including plants.
TAXONOMY
24
Three separate areas:
a. Classification b. Nomenclature c. Identification
25
is the arrangement of organisms into taxonomic groups on the basis of similarities or relationships
Classification
26
taxonomic group of any rank
taxa
26
is the assignment of names to the various taxa according to international rules
Nomenclature
27
is the process of determining whether an isolate belong to one of the established named taxa or represents a previously unidentified species.
Identification
28
method of giving each species a name consisting of two words
BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE
29
two types in need for BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE
species letter
30
usually expressed in micrometers
BACTERIA and PROTOZOA
31
usually expressed in nanometers
VIRUSES
32
is one of the smallest viruses that infect
POLIOVIRUS
