Unit I Tree Assignment

Make a taxonomic tree out of the following terms. Layer it in order to illustrate what is under
what. Additionally, match the definition to each term and write the corresponding letter beside
the spot on the tree. Finally, indicate the rank of each term. D refers to doman, K refers to
Kingdom, SK refers to Subkingdom, P refers to Phylum, SP refers to Subphylum, and NR refers
to Not Ranked. Since this is the first tree, the shape is given.

endostyle
