Concept explainers
List in order, from most inclusive to least inclusive, the principal categories (taxa) in Linnaean classification as currently applied to animals.
To list: The most inclusive to least inclusive of principal categories of Linnaean classification that is currently applied to animals.
Introduction: The taxonomy is also called as arrangement law, which is the branch of science used to name and classify the groups of biological organisms based on the shared characteristics. The taxonomical classification is used to reveal the evolutionary relationship of the animal populations based on their taxon. Based on their taxonomic ranks, the animals are placed in the hierarchical system of taxonomy.
Explanation of Solution
Carolus Linnaeus’ concept of the hierarchical system of classification is used to arrange an organism into a series of groups of ever-decreasing inclusiveness. Moreover, the organism is grouped into major taxa from there they are given the standard taxonomic ranks to identify the general degree of inclusiveness.
Linnaeus concept of hierarchical system of classification from most inclusive to least inclusive is as follows:

- Explain how organisms are named in the Linnaean system.arrow_forwardA critical concern of systematics is that the genera are , that all the species included in the genus are related to each other by a common ancestor, and that (circle one: all, most, at least half) of the descendants of that common ancestor are in the same genus. Such a genus is (circle one: polyphyletic, monophyletic).arrow_forwardA 2015 article in Nature has summarized the early history of jawed vertebrates using highlights from recent discoveries and how they have changed our understanding of vertebrate evolution. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/04/140416133336.htm Question: Given these recent discoveries, how should the cladogram below change? Describe it. It will likely be helpful to reference a synapomorphy noted on the cladogram.arrow_forward
- In the binomial naming system, scientific names are written in italics, with the first word capitalized and the second not capitalized. The scientific name of a type of fungus beetle is therefore written as Gelae donut (pronounced “jelly donut,” seriously!). Which level of the classification system does each word of that scientific name represent? (Note: this is NOT a multiple choice question…) Gelae = donut =arrow_forwardCompare the advantages of Linnaean and phylogenetic classification systemsarrow_forwardWhy is the Linnaean taxonomic system useful as a classification system?arrow_forward
