The science of naming and describing organisms.

A system for classifying organisms based on their shared characteristics.

A hierarchical system used to classify organisms, from the broadest to the most specific categories.

The broadest category in the classification hierarchy, encompassing all living organisms.

A major category in the classification hierarchy, grouping organisms based on shared fundamental traits.

A category in the classification hierarchy, grouping organisms with similar body plans and organization.

A category in the classification hierarchy, grouping organisms with similar structural features, such as wings or limbs.

A category in the classification hierarchy, grouping organisms with similar characteristics and adaptations.

A category in the classification hierarchy, grouping organisms with close evolutionary relationships.

A category in the classification hierarchy, grouping closely related organisms.

A category in the classification hierarchy, representing a group of interbreeding organisms.

The two-part scientific name given to each species, consisting of the genus name and the species identifier.

A scientific name that includes the genus and species identifier, providing information about an organism's classification.

Organisms belonging to the same genus share close evolutionary relationships.

A kingdom that encompasses organisms with chitin cell walls and digestive enzymes, obtaining nutrients by absorbing organic matter.

A kingdom that encompasses diverse eukaryotes, including unicellular and multicellular organisms with characteristics similar to plants or animals.

The proposal of a three-domain classification, dividing organisms into Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.

A method of classifying organisms into a series of nested groups based on shared evolutionary traits.

A branching diagram that depicts evolutionary relationships between organisms, based on shared derived traits.

A comparison of DNA sequences, revealing more similarities between closely related species.

The process of organisms developing similar features due to similar environments or selection pressures.

A classification system that uses various similarities, including physical, chemical, and behavioral characteristics.

A classification system based on evidence from DNA, fossils, embryological development, and physical features.

A classification system based on DNA similarities and differences, dividing organisms into three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.

The least inclusive classification group in the hierarchy, representing a unique group of interbreeding organisms.

Multicellular, nucleated organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis.

Organisms in different genera may share the same species identifier or belong to the same family.

The order of the classification hierarchy from broadest to most specific is Kingdom to Species.

Each organism has a unique scientific name consisting of a genus name and a species identifier.

Organisms with similar classification, such as Quercus rubra and Quercus phellos.

The relationship between classification levels can be summarized as: Class is to Order, as Kingdom is to Phylum.
