  1. Classification

  2. How would you classify these shapes?

  3. Level 1 Classification Blue Pink

  4. Level 2 Classification Square Heart Circle Triangle

  5. Which level is more specific? A. Level 1 Blue Pink B. Level 2 Square Heart Circle Triangle

  6. Why is Classification Important? • To Study the Diversity of Life • To name organisms • Group organisms in a logical manner that has a biological meaning

  8. At what classification level do we (humans and lions) go our separate ways? • Phylum (Chordata) • Class (Mammalia) • Order (Carnivora) • Family (Felidae)

  9. Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Eukarya Animalia Chordata Mammalia Primates Hominidae Homo Sapiens Human Classification

  10. The 3 domains • Archaea (Prokaryote) • Bacteria (Prokaryote) • Eukarya (Eukaryote)

  11. The 6 kingdoms • Archea • Archaebacteria • Bacteria • Eubacteria • Eukaryotes • A. Fungi • B. Protista • C. Animalia • D. Plantae • Archea • Archaebacteria • Bacteria • Eubacteria • Eukarya • Fungi • Protista • Animalia • Plantae

  12. Animal Phyla • There are 38 animal phyla • 97% of animal species are invertebrates • Cnidaria • Platyhelminthes • Annelida • Porifera • Mollusca • Arthropoda • There is only one phylum for vertebrates • Chordata

  13. Chordata Classes • There are 16 classes of chordates • 10 of them are different classes of fish • The others are: • Reptilia • Aves • Amphibia • Mammalia

  14. Mammalian Orders • There over 30 orders of mammals • Here are a few • Carnivora • Primates • Rodentia • Lagomorpha • Cetacea • Chiroptera • Proboscidea • Sirenia

  15. Which Similiarities are most Important? A. Looks B. Habitat C. Food D. Locomotion E. Evolution • Phylogeny-evolutionary relationships among organisms • Scientists group organisms based on evolutionary descent or phylogeny

  16. Name that organism • Taxonomy-scientists classify organisms and assign each organism a universally accepted name.

  17. Which level of classification is more specific than Genus? • Kingdom • Class • Family • Species

  18. Binomial Nomenclature • Developed by Linnaeus • Two-name system • Each organism has a genus and a species name • First name (genus); second name (species)

  19. Are You Paying Attention? • Yes • Mostly • Not Really • Not at All

  20. Binomial Nomenclature • Combination of the genus and species name of an organism is a scientific name • Scientific names of organisms are always italicized or underlined • Genus name is capitalized • Species name is lower-case
