    The document discusses binomial nomenclature, which is the two-term naming system used to classify organisms into species. It explains that Linnaeus named each species with a genus name followed by a single descriptive specific name. For example, Felis domesticus has the genus name Felis and the specific name domesticus. The document also contains examples of taxonomic categories from kingdom to species, showing that organisms within the same category are also within larger shared categories.

    BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE
    Linnaeus named each species with a genus name followed by
    a single descriptive name.
    You should look at the
    first word ( genus) to
    understand being
    relative!

    Ex: Felis domesticus

    genus specific name


    name that defines
    properties of the
    organism

    species name

    EXAMPLE:

    I. Felis leo
    II. Felis domesticus
    III. Musca domestica
    IV. Tegenaria domestica

    According to binomial nomenclature above,

     Which organisms are closer relatives?


    ……………………………………………………..
    I- II
     How many species and genera (plural of genus) are
    shown?
    ........................................................................................
    4 species and 3 genera

    TAXONOMIC CATEGORIES

    Mnemonics help you 

    If two organisms are in same category they are also in larger categories together!
    Example: Look at rabbit and cat 8
