The Law of Priority
The Law of Priority
The earliest name given to a taxon takes precedence, even if other names have been used since. This ensures a consistent and stable naming system in biology.
No Homonymia
No Homonymia
A single scientific name can be used for only one group of organisms (taxon) to avoid confusion and ensure clarity in classification.
Binomial System
Binomial System
The two-part naming system used to classify organisms, consisting of the genus and species names (e.g., Homo sapiens).

Study Notes
Zoology Questions - Summary
- Correctly written term: Earliest name should be used, this is the Law of Priority.
- Homonymia: A single name cannot be used for 2 different taxa.
- Binomial System Classification: Organism classification based on overall similarity.
- Whittaker's Classification: Recommended 5 Kingdoms for organisms.
- Geographic Isolation: Morphological differences can exist even if species can exchange genes.
- Biosystematics: Term for modern science of classification.
- Taxonomic categories (incorrect): "Breed" is not a taxonomic category.
- Order and Genus Belonging:
- Trypanosoma belongs to Kinetoplastida
- Leishmania belongs to Kinetoplastida
- Giardia belongs to Diplomonadida
- Eimeria belongs to none of those listed. (No correct order given)
Zoology Questions (continued)
- Reasons for no cyst formation in Coccidia: Eimeria species do not form cysts.
- Cyst-forming genus: Giardia species form cysts.
- Important coccidia genera: Eimeria, is most important without cyst formation.

- Important piroplasms genus: Babesia
- Medusa Stage Absent Class: Anthozoa
- Polyp Stage Absent Class: Hydrozoa
Zoology Questions - Additional Topics
- Phylum Platyhelminthes Species: Approximately 25,000 species.

- Reptilian Embryonic Feature: Appearance of fetal membranes is the earliest feature in class Reptilia.
- Reptilian Skull Type: Some reptiles have diapsid skulls.
- Reptilian Function: Testudo may use their cloaca for drinking, but the cloaca is in reptiles for other purposes.

- Physiological/Behavioral Features: Phylum or Class is not stated.
- Habitat: Physical place where an organism lives.
- Fundamental Niche: Potential environment.
- Realized Niche: Actual environment.
- Ecological Relationships: Predator-Prey, Competition (competitive exclusion).
- Population Ecology Concepts: Cost-benefit analysis (related to organismal life strategy), R-selected species.
- Biological Elements Recycling: Usually decomposers recycle elements.
