• Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Family, Order, Genus, Species
• Kingdom, Family, Order, Phylum, Class, Genus, Species

The study of how things are classified is known as:

• binomial nomenclature
• a dichotomous key
• taxonomy

The 2-part naming system developed by Linneus is known as:

• dichotomous key
• taxonomy
• binomial nomenclature
• classification

The rules for naming an organism are:

• Capitalize Genus, lowercase species, underline or italicize entire word
• Capitalize both Genus and species, underline or italicize the entire word
• write it how ever you want
• Capitalize Genus, lowercase species, make the entire word in bold print

Which of the following identifies the levels of classification in the correct order?

• domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

• genus, species, domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family

• domain, kingdom, genus, species, phylum, class, order, family

• genus, species, phylum, class, order, family, domain, kingdom
