12. THE SYSTEM OF
CLASSIFICATION
The modern classification system
was developed by the Swedish
scientist Carolus Linnaeus in the
mid 1700’s.
Some characteristics he used to
classify organisms were outside
appearance, internal organs, and
how body systems worked.
13. THE SYSTEM OF
CLASSIFICATION
He developed a Hierarchy
(a ranking system) for
classifying organisms that
is the Basis for Modern
Taxonomy.
For this reason, he is
considered to be “father”
of modern taxonomy.
14. Kingdom - is the highest and most
comprehensive level of classification.
Phylum – is a group of related classes.
Class – is a group of related orders.
Order – is a group of related families.
15. Family – is a group of related genera.
Genus – is a group of related species.
Species – is a group of similar individuals
capable of interbreeding to produce fertile
offspring.
21. CONCLUSION
The classification system for organisms have been
around for a long time. It has endured several
changes and is quite complex. Without it modern
biology could not exist, much in the same way that
a grocery store would go out of business if it did
not have a classification system. Thus,
classification of organisms help us to easily identify,
quantify and protect species diversity.
