Study Notes

Biological Classification and Addressing Concepts

Jane Doe is the intended recipient in the letter model.
The first envelope is better due to its specificity in information.
The most specific parts of Addressed Envelope 1 are labeled F, G, C, B.
The most general parts of Addressed Envelope 1 are A, D, C, H.
The addition of zip code plus four enhances specificity in mail delivery.
Lions and tigers are the closest related species among the listed cats.
The species taxonomic level is where lions and tigers diverge.
All three cats share the same taxonomic grouping at the family level.
Genus and species names are distinct because they are italicized, unlike other taxonomic categories.
