Biology Classification

The main reason for classification is to establish the criteria for identifying organisms

Physicists agree on the names of compounds and elements

The binomial nomenclature system uses a three-name system to identify species

The members of a species generally have no common characteristics that distinguish that species from all other species

Carolus Linnaeus is known as the Mother of Taxonomy

Members of a species can always be divided into significantly different groups on the basis of a particular characteristic.

A strain is a subgroup of a genus with one or more characteristics that distinguish it from other subgroups of the same genus.

The primary way to distinguish species that reproduce sexually is by their geographic distribution.

A dichotomous key is not a commonly used key to identify organisms.

Taxonomy should never change, even with new knowledge or evolutionary changes.
