In biological classification, the scientific name refers to ...

• The common name of an organism
• The family to which an organism belongs
• The genus and species of an organism
• The kingdom to which an organism belongs

In biological classification, the common name is problematic because...

• It can vary by region and language
• It is always incorrect
• It is too difficult to remember
• It is not scientific

In biological classification, the Family refers to the...

• Group of similar species
• Group of similar orders
• Group of similar genera
• Group of similar classes
