A number of similar families make up an
Order
When classifying tool has a set of different choices about the same subject, such as the leaf shape is round or the leaf shape is hearted-shaped, the choices are said to be
Parallel.
Binomial nomenclature

Rana pipiens.
Name the two classes of animals according to Aristotle.
Red blood and Non-red blood.
Ways of grouping plants and animals in ancient times might be by
Red blood and non-red blood.
The separation of species due to some type of barrier to produce young for more than one generation is
Reproductive isolation
Species
Reproductive isolation and morphology.
What was the difference between study of taxonomy in Rome and in Greece?
Rome copied others while Greece examined plants.
Animal Characteristics
Segmented digestive system, appendages.
Species
Smallest unit of classification.
Common name
Sparrow.
The idea that one species can rise to new kinds of species, new genera, new families, order, classes, kingdoms is known as
Speciation.
Organisms that can interbreed and produce offspring that can grow to produce young are of the same
Species.
Porifera
Sponges.
Information that depends on the thoughts and feelings of the scientists rather than on actual observation is said to be
Subjective.
Taxonomy
The science of classification.
Genetics
The science of heredity (inheritance).
Genetics
The science of heredity.
How is a scientific term written in binomial nomenclature?
The two-parts that make up the first name indicate genus and species.
A family tree shows relationships and is, therefore, a good example of a natural system of classification.
True.
All plant cells include a structure called a cell wall.
True.
Anyone interpreting information will be limited from being completely objective by his or her biases.
True.
Aristotle classified animals into those with red blood and those with non-red blood.
True.
Corn is a type of grass?
True.
Linnaeus wrote Species Plantarum?
True.
People have classified plants and animals for thousands of years?
True.
Scientists began to study and observe real plants and animals during the Renaissance?
True.
Taxonomy is a science of organizing and classifying?
True.
Teeth patterns in animals and thorns in plants are examples of characteristics which a taxonomist might observe for keying.
True.
The International Code of Nomenclature sets specific rules to help decide new scientific names or changes of names.
True.
The scientific name of the leopard frog means frog-frog.
True.
To a taxonomist a plant is the sum total of all its characteristics.
True.
Linnaeus
Two word, scientific names, Species Plantarum.
Philosophy
Why people think the way they do.
Classifying by using flower color, leaf shape, and leaf arrangement are examples of a(n)
artificial system of classification.
Groups of similar organisms within a species are called
breed or subspecies.
Taxonomy is the science of
classification.
Population
All organisms of a kind in an area.
Archaeology
Ancient tools.
Name two ways plants and animals differ.
Animals move; plants don't. Plants use energy as food, animals either hunt or eat plants.
Two important developments of the Renaissance were
travel & exploring; bodies were common.
Kind
A group of organisms that are capable of reproducing more of that group.
A tool used in classification is a
A. Key.
The binomial nomenclature is credited to
A. Linnaeus.
When a species is made up of different smaller groups, each of those smaller groups is known as a
A. Variety.
One of the needs of today's taxonomy is
A. more information.
One of the Greek Taxonomists who grouped plants by size and shape was
Aristotle.
A group of organisms which has been reclassified is
B. English sparrow.
The language used in most commonly scientific writing is
B. Latin.
Taxonomy is
B. a very old science.
Origin
Beginnings.
Herbalists contributed
C. Medicinal uses of plants.
The name given to an organism which causes the least confusion and is the same in any language or in any country is the
C. Scientific name.
The best choice for explaining the meaning of binomial nomenclature is
C. Two-name calling.
Classification systems
C. Vary with the taxonomist.
Name two problems in developing a new and better system of classification.
Complexity for classifying. The limitations of knowledge.
Taxonomy is an organizing science used in
D. All of these. Biology, Zoology, and Botany.
Taxonomy is the science of
D. Organizing and classifying.
An example of subjective information is
D. beautiful leaves.
What were Linnaeus' contributions to taxonomy?
Developed a binomial naming system for plants.
When there are two choices for each level of the sequence for identification, that classifying tool is called a(n)
Dichotomous Key.
Classification groupings are made according to how plants and animals are
Different and how they are similar.
The second largest taxon is known as
Division (for plants) & Phylum (for animals).
The second-largest taxon is called a
Division when categorizing plants, and a Phylum when categorizing animals.
An herbalist might use an interpretation known as
Doctrine of Signatures
When information was not available for a plant, the herbalists
made up.
