‘From the time we begin to talk, we starcwo name things. We ike vo see how things ate rated, Ieis nararal
then, that biologists would name and organize organisms into a clasifcation system. In this activity You
will learn about the major classification groups and how organisms are named.
Model 1 - Addressing an Envelope
Addressed Envelope 1 Addressed Envelope 2
1. Inaddressed Envelope 1, which four letters (A-H] correspond to the most specific part ofthe address?
A,€,B.F
2. Inaddressed Envelope 1, which four letters (A-H) correspond to the most general part of the address?
C.4,.D.H
3. _Inrecent years, the United States Post Office has introduced a zip code plus 4 (H). Thinking about what you've
learned about addresses, why would this additional information be added to address labels?
H heips make large zip code areas moe specitic,
4. Using the envelope outline from Model 1, classify the full address by writing the appropriate information in the
“Envelope” column in Model 2 below.

Read This!
Carols Lianenus (1707-1778) is known as the father of modern taxonomy, Taxonomy is the sence OF
finding, describing, and categorizing organisms with the ultimate goal to name the species. In traditional
Linnean taxonomy the seven major taxonomic groups are (in order from least specific to most specific)
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. Modern taxonomy categorizes the six
kingdoms into three domains,
5. Use the Linnaean taxonomic groupings to complete the third column of the table in Model 2.
6. Which two ofthe tree cats listed in Mode! 2are most closely elated? Explain your answer.
|
- Prey have the most taxa (lL) in Comman- Kingdon? Genus
7. At thigh taxonomic level de the two cats you identified n Question 8 separate?
Species
‘8. What is the most specific taxonomic grouping in which all three cats are the same?
Family7 Fclidae
8. Whatis diferent about the way the genus and species names ae written compared to the other taxa?
They are written in italics
10. The genus and species names are colectvly refered to asthe scientific name. is wrlten in a form known as
binomial nomenclature, a two-term Latin naming system. There are three rules for writing a scientific name using
this system. Analyze the information in Model 2 to complete the rules below:
Rule: The setae sates witenin Z pars, wth the genusname written PiVSE and the
species name_SELUN
Rule 2: The scientiic name is always written in_|TALICS _iritishandwritten, itis wetten in cursive oF

Rule3:Thestletterofthe genusnameisa_(UOITAL etter
11. In Lnnaeus’s time, classification was based on the appearance of organisms. Think about the appearance of
orgsnisms suchas tadpoles and frogs, sharks and dolphins, ane penguins anc eagles, What are the limitations of
classifying organisms by only their appearance? Parente

13. Look carefully at Model 3 and compare the kingdom arrangement to the domain arrangement. Which group is
larger, domain or kingdom? Justify your answer and use information from the model in your explanation.
Te domain is larger, since ft Includes the kingdoms,
For example, the domain Fukarya tocludes the
Animalia, Plantae, eungi, and Fotsa.
