  1. AIM OF CLASSIFICATION The classification of organisms provides an advantage in the investigation and observation of living things.

  2. Carl Von Linnaeus was the first person to classify living things in a scientific way in 1735. • He was use binomial nomenclature. Latin language is used in binomial nomenclature.

  3. In binomial nomenclature, each organism has two names. • First of them is genus name, other is species name. • Pinusnigra (Black pine). • Pinus is name of genus and nigra is name of species.

  4. SPECIES: It is group of organisms which members have many similarities.

  5. Properties of species • 1-They must produce fertile offspring. • 2-They must have the same chromosome number. 3-The members of species must be able to mate.

  6. HORSE DONKEY MULE Mule can’t reproduce. Because it isn’t a species.

  7. A group of similar species is called genus. • Organisms which belong to same genus, have same genus name. Felisdomesticus (House cat) • Felistigris (Tiger) • Felisleo (lion)

  8. Pinusnigra • Pinusbrutia • Pinushalapensis

  9. A group of similar species is called genus. • A group of similar genera (sing:genus) is called family. A group of similar family is called order. A group of similar order is called class. A group of similar classes is called phylum(Phyla). A group of similar phylum is called kingdom.

  10. From kingdom to species the following trends are observed • 1-The number of groups decreases. • 2-Similarities in organisms increases • 3-The number of members decreases

  11. Kingdom : Animalia Phylum : Chordata Class : Mammalia Order : Primates Family : Hominidae Genus : Homo .Species : Homo sapiens

  12. Some organisms like both animals and plants. Ex:Euglena Euglena likes animals because it can move. It also likes plants because it has chloroplast in its structure.

  13. Kingdoms 1-Monera 2-Protista 3-Fungi 4-Plantae 5-Animalia
