Study Notes
Taxonomy and Classification
- Taxonomy is the scientific method of classifying and naming living organisms based on shared traits or characteristics, including morphological characteristics, genetic information, and evolutionary relationships.
Domains of Life
- There are four (or three) domains of life: the Archaea, the Bacteria, the Eucarya, and the Protista (or not including Protista).
- The highest taxonomic rank in the hierarchical biological classification system is the domain.
Hierarchical Classification
- Each kingdom is divided into phyla, and each phylum is further subdivided into classes, orders, families, genera, and species.
- In Linnean taxonomy, the highest classification into which living organisms are grouped is the kingdom (or phylum).
Classification of Organisms
- The largest group in the classification of organisms is the domain.
- Phyla are further subdivided into classes, orders, families, genera, and species.
- The three domains of life in the hierarchical biological classification system are the Archaea, the Bacteria, and the Eucarya.
