What was the main evidence the Linnaean classification system used to classify organisms?

• DNA

• blood type/chemical make up

• obvious physical traits

• evolutionary relationships

In the classic Linnaean system of classification this is the largest and most inclusive grouping of taxa?

• Domain

• Kingdom

• Genus

• Species

In the classic Linnaean system of classification this is the smallest and most exclusive grouping of taxa.

• Domain

• Kingdom

• Genus

• Species

This is Esox lucius also known as the Northern Pike. Under the Linnaean system of classification which of these statements are true? (check all that apply)

• Esox is the kingdom of the animal

• lucius is the species of the animal.

• Esox lucius shows the domain of the animal.

• The Northern Pike is the only animal with the name Esox lucius.

• Esox is the species because the species is always capitalized in a scientific name.

This system gives each species a unique, two-word Latin name consisting of the genus name and the species name.

• binomial nomenclature

• hierarchy of groupings

• taxa demographics

• The Domain System

Most biologists agree there are three domains of life which are they?

• Animalia

• Plantae

• Bacteria

• Eukarya

• Archaea
