1. 1. Binomial
nomenclature
A system of nomenclature in which each species of
animal or plant receives a name of two terms of which
the first identifies the genus to which it belongs and the
second the species itself
2. class Class Biology. the usual major subdivision of a phylum
or division in the classification of organisms, usually
consisting of several orders.
3. Dichotomous
keys
Dichotomous keys A dichotomous key is a key for the
identification of organisms based on a series of choices.
4. domain a region characterized by a specific feature, type of
growth or wildlife, etc.:
5. family Family Biology. the usual major subdivision of an order
or suborder in the classification of plants, animals,
fungi, etc., usually consisting of several genera.
6. genus Biology. the usual major subdivision of a family or
subfamily in the classification of organisms, usually
consisting of more than one species.
7. Hierarchical
classification
Hierarchical classification Hierarchical Classification
is a system of grouping things according to a hierarchy,
or levels and orders. A hierarchy can be seen in
positions of authority in which people are ranked in an
unwavering order of authority, with a "boss" at the top
and "entry level" employees at the bottom. The military
uses hierarchical classification to organize its members:
generals are at the very top, followed by colonels,
captains, and then sergeants.
