Diversity of Living Things UNIT 2: MICROBIOLOGY
2.1 Taxonomy pg. 98 - 101 Definition: • science of classifying organisms (both living & extinct) Purpose of Taxonomy Why do we classify living organisms? • to identify organisms • to represent evolutionary relationships among them
Taxonomic System • developed by Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) in Latin • based his classification on structural and physical features • the more features organisms have in common, the closer their relationship
Binomial Nomenclature(common worldwide language) • the scientific name of a species is formed by the combination of • Genus(always capitalized) (can be written alone) Example: Ursus = all bears 2. species(lowercase) (can never be written alone) Example: Ursusamericanus = North American Black Bears note: both are italicized two terms:
Species a group of organisms with similar features that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring SPECIES: = + horse donkey mules

Taxonomic Classifications Gorillas & Chimps have 98% same DNA as us
Dichotomous Key • two-part key used to identify living things • a series of choices must be made • each choice leads to a new branch of the key • end result is the name of the organism being identified
