Binomial Nomenclature
Developed by Carolus Linnaeus
Two-name system:
• First name is the organism’s
genus
• Second name is the organism’s
species
What rules are used to write
scientific names?
The first letter of the genus is ALWAYS
capitalized
The first letter of the species is NEVER
capitalized
Scientific names of organisms are
always italicized or underlined
Using the Classification System
Field guides help identify organisms.
-they highlight differences between similar
organisms (like trees)
Taxonomic Key (Dichotomous Key)
-paired statements that describe the
physical characteristics of different
organisms
Taxonomic Key
1a Fruits occur singly ....................................................... Go to 3
1b Fruits occur in clusters of two or more ......................... Go to 2
2a Fruits are round ....................................................... Grapes
2b Fruits are elongate ................................................... Bananas
3a Thick skin that separates easily from flesh .............Oranges
3b Thin skin that adheres to flesh .............................. Go to 4
4a More than one seed per fruit ............................ Apples
