2
Q
What are the key taxonomic groups?
A
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
3
Q
Why do scientists classify organisms?
A
To identify species, to predict characteristics, and to find evolutionary links
4
Q
What is a species?
A
A group of organisms that are able to reproduce to produce fertile offspring.
5
Q
What is a common name?
A
A name given according to certain physical characteristics, behaviours or habitats (e.g bluebird)
6
Q
How do you form a name using binomial nomenclature?
A
