Linnaeus used a hierarchical system of classificatiol WILDI
They are from largest to smallest: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species,
King Phillip Carne Qver Erom Greece Singing.
Each of these levels is called a
- largest category, group of related phyla.
- group of different classes that share important characteristics.
- group of similar orders.
- group of similar families.
- genera (genus plural) that share many characteristics.
-group of closely related species.
- group of similar organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring.
He developed a system called
-each
species is assigned a two-part scientific name consisting of genus +species.
Always written in italics, first word (genus) first letter CAPITALIZED, second word (species) is lowercased.
Example: humans-.
