Binomial Nomenclature

Back 1

Classification naming system in which each species is assigned a two-part scientific name

Front 2

Taxon

Back 2

A group or level of organization into which organisms are classified.

Front 3

Aristotle

Back 3

First person to start classifying objects into either plants or animals.

Front 4

Linnaeus

Back 4

A person considered to be the father of modern classification. He came up with the scientific naming system.

Front 11

Taxonomy

Back 11

The Science of Classification

Front 12

Dichotomous Key

Back 12

A tool that uses series of paired statements that describe physical characteristics of different organisms. In each pair there are only two “questions” – can help in identifying an organism

Front 13

Domain

Back 13

Largest category of living things, larger than a kingdom.

Classification

Back 19
