    • What is the definition of classification in biology?
      Organizing organisms by similarities
    • Classifying organisms allows us to study their evolution and ecology.

      True
    • The Linnaean system groups organisms based on their physical characteristics
    • Why is the Phylogenetic system considered more scientifically robust than the Linnaean system?
      Reflects evolutionary history
    • The Linnaean system uses hierarchical categories to classify organisms.
      True
    • The modern classification system uses cladistics to create groups of organisms sharing a common ancestor.
    • What is the broadest taxonomic rank?
      Domain
    • Arrange the taxonomic ranks from broadest to most specific:
      1️⃣ Domain
      2️⃣ Kingdom
      3️⃣ Phylum
      4️⃣ Class
      5️⃣ Order
      6️⃣ Family
      7️⃣ Genus
      8️⃣ Species
    • Match the classification system with its key feature:
      Linnaean System ↔️ Observable physical traits
      Phylogenetic System ↔️ Evolutionary relationships
    • In the Linnaean system, organisms are grouped into hierarchical categories such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species
    • What is the main advantage of the Phylogenetic system over the Linnaean system?
      Reflects evolutionary history
    • The Phylogenetic system provides a static classification of organisms.
      False
    • What does the Phylogenetic system emphasize in classifying organisms?
      Evolutionary relationships
    • The Phylogenetic system provides a high representation of evolutionary history.

      True
    • The most specific taxonomic rank is species
    • What are the three primary methods used to classify organisms?
      Physical traits, evolutionary relationships, ecological roles
    • Evolutionary relationships rely on genetic information from DNA analysis.
      True
    • Classification helps us organize the vast biodiversity on Earth
    • What are the two main historical classification systems in biology?
      Linnaean and Phylogenetic
    • The Phylogenetic system reflects the evolutionary tree of life.
      True
    • Classification helps us understand the relationships between organisms
    • What is the modern classification system based on?
      Phylogeny
    • Match the classification system with its basis:
      Linnaean System ↔️ Physical traits
      Phylogenetic System ↔️ Evolutionary relationships
    • The most specific taxonomic rank is species
    • Organisms in the same species can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

      True
    • What is the primary basis of classification in the Linnaean system?
      Physical characteristics
    • The Linnaean system reflects evolutionary history.
      False
    • The Phylogenetic system groups organisms into clades
    • Match the classification system with its basis:
      Linnaean System ↔️ Physical traits
      Phylogenetic System ↔️ Evolutionary relationships
    • In the Linnaean system, organisms are grouped into hierarchical categories.
    • What is the highest taxonomic rank in the hierarchical system?
      Domain
    • Organisms in the same genus can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
      False
    • Evolutionary relationships are used to group organisms into clades
    • What is the species name for humans?
      Homo sapiens
    • Escherichia coli belongs to the Bacteria domain.

      True
    • The scientific name for broccoli is Brassica oleracea
