Classification

A group of similar organisms that can mate and produce fertile offspring is a(n)

• cross breed
• species
• kingdom
• family

There are

• many kingdoms but only a few species
• only a few species and only a few kingdoms
• many kingdoms and many species
• many species but only a few kingdoms

The two names used to make an organisms scientific name are the

• genus and species names
• kingdom and phylum names
• class and order names
• kingdom and species names

The classification system has

• always and will always stayed the same
• not changed in the past but will likely change in the future
• changed in the past and will continue to change in the future
• changed in the past but will not change in the future

Scientific names are used to identify organisms because

• common names may be different in different regions
• scientific names are the same in all languages
• the same common name may be used for more than one organism
• all of these are true

Today we classify all living things into

• seven kingdoms
• six kingdoms
• five kingdoms
• two kingdoms

The science of classification is known as

• taxidermy
• taxiscopy
• taxonomy
• taxpreperation

A tool used to identify organisms in which there are paired descriptions.

• descriptive key
• binomial key
• dichotomous key
• evolutionary key

Offspring of cross breeding are usually

• just like the father
• just like the mother
• able to reproduce
• not fertile (not able to reproduce)

The man who is considered the father of taxonomy is

• Darwin
• Ray
• Linnaeus
• Aristotle
