Q
what are taxonomic groups
A
the 7 groups that are used for classification groups used in the heirarchy eg. kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
2
Q
why do scientists classify organisms
A
- to indentify organisms
- to predict characteristics
- to find evolutionary links (as they share a common ancestor)
3
Q
what are the three domains
A
archea, bacteria, eukarya
4
Q
whats a species
A
a group of organisms that are able to reproduce to produce fertile offspring
5
Q
how are species named
A
genus(shared with closely related species) followed by species (specific to species) eg homo(genus)- sapiens(species)
6
Q
whats binomial nomenclature
A
the scientific name for animals
7

A
