Biological Classification

Domain and Kingdom Systems

Domains represent the highest taxonomic rank, including:
- Bacteria: Prokaryotic, single-celled organisms without a nucleus.
- Archaea: Prokaryotic organisms resembling bacteria but genetically distinct; often found in extreme environments.
- Eukarya: Organisms with complex cells that possess a nucleus, encompassing animals, plants, fungi, and protists.
Kingdoms within Eukarya include:
- Animalia: Multicellular, heterotrophic organisms that require organic material for energy.
- Plantae: Multicellular, autotrophic organisms that use photosynthesis to produce their own food.
- Fungi: Mostly multicellular, heterotrophic organisms that decompose organic matter.
- Protista: A diverse assemblage mainly comprising unicellular organisms, encompassing protozoa and algae.

Hierarchical Classification

Organizes living organisms into a structured rank system for easier identification:
- Domain
- Kingdom
- Phylum
- Class
- Order
- Family
- Genus
- Species
Each taxonomic rank refines the classification by highlighting unique characteristics among organisms.

Phylogenetics

Involves the study of evolutionary relationships across biological entities (species).
Utilizes data from morphological, genetic, and molecular biology disciplines to trace lineage.
Constructs phylogenetic trees, or cladograms, to visually represent relationships and divergences, aiding in the understanding of common ancestry.

Taxonomy

The scientific discipline of naming, describing, and classifying organisms.
Encompasses identifying and documenting new species.
Employs a standardized classification system to prevent ambiguity, often based on the Linnaean system.

Binomial Nomenclature

A formal two-part naming system established by Carl Linnaeus.
The first part indicates the genus name and is capitalized.
The second part specifies the specific epithet and is written in lowercase.
Example: Homo sapiens denotes the human species.
Ensures that each species is assigned a unique, universally accepted name to facilitate scientific communication.
