Phylum
A phylum is a major group of organisms within a kingdom whose
members share at least one special characteristic.
is a phylum in the animal kingdom that includes all
animals that have a backbone.
Class
Phylums are divided into smaller groups called classes.
The phylum Chordata is divided into several classes including
birds, fish, reptiles, and mammals.
Humans belong to the class .
Mammals all share two major characteristics
1.
2.
Order
Members of a class that have more characteristics in common are
put into even smaller groups called orders.
Lemurs, bushbabies, monkeys, apes and humans belong to the
order of .
Two major characteristic of primates are:
1.
2.
Family
Within an order, the most similar members are grouped into a
.
Chimps, gorillas, humans, and orangutans belong to the family
.
Members of the hominidae family share DNA that is similar.
Genus
Within each family, the most similar members are grouped into a
.
Humans belong to the genus .
Two major characteristic of homo are:
1.
2.
Species
Finally, within each genus the most similar organisms are grouped
into .
Organisms within a species are so similar that they are able to mate
and reproduce more of their own kind.
Humans belong to the species .
Scientific Names
Every organism has a scientific name that consists of an
organism’s genus and species.
Example the scientific name for humans is .
