The classification of species by morphology involves:

- colors - shape - structure - physical traits

Give the taxa for the kingdom "Plantae" from general to specific.

1. kingdom 2. division 3. class 4. order 5. family 6. genus 7. species

The currently used binomial nomenclature was developed by ______________

Linnaeus

When a system of classification is based on observation of a predetermined set of factors, it is called:

an artificial system

Two named system that includes Genus and species -

binomial nomenclature

Systems of taxonomy have been established according to the notion of:

common ancestry and similarities of different species

The biblical concepts concerning creation:

conform to established scientific laws

The name given to the fifth taxon =

family

Linnaeus =

fixity of species

The science of heredity (inheritance) =

genetics

The science of heredity =

genetics

A sorting device that is useful in classifying by observation is a:

key

A group of organisms that are capable of reproducing more of that group =

kind

Group of organisms with similar characteristics =

kind

The largest taxon =

kingdom

One of the needs of today's taxonomy is:

more information

The taxon "species" may be defined by the following two concepts: reproductive isolation and _________________

morphology

Which of the two methods for determining the species taxon would involve greater subjectivity?

morphology

In binomial nomenclature, the genus functions as a(n) _________, and the species functions as a(n) _______________

noun, adjective

A division is always associated with:

plants

A group of organisms living in an area =

population

All organisms of a kind in an area =

population

The common name of a bird species =

sparrow

Defined according to reproductive isolation and morphology =

species

Interpretations based upon emotions or opinion are considered:

subjective

Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species =

taxa

The science of classification =

taxaonomy

The science of classification =

taxonomy

The first use of using two words as a scientific name:

was introduced during the Renaissance

A kingdom may be subdivided into only one Phylum. True or False?

False
