Carl Linnaeus developed the scientific naming system still used today
• Binomial nomenclature is a two-part scientific naming system.• uses Latin words • scientific names always written in italics or
underlined• two parts are the genus name and species
descriptor

Tyto alba and Quercus alba
Are these species related?

• A genus includes one or more physically similar species.– Species in the same genus are thought to be
closely related.– Genus name is always capitalized.
• A species descriptor is the second part of a scientific name.– always lowercase– always follows genus name; never written
alone

• Ursus maritimus
Ursus maritimus Ursus arctos horribilis
(horribilis is the subspecies)

Scientific names help scientists to communicate.
• Some species have very similar common names.• Some species have many common names.
![Page 10: Taxonomy The science of naming and classifying organisms Chapter 17.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f535503460f94c77670/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Linnaeus’ classification system has seven levels.
![Page 11: Taxonomy The science of naming and classifying organisms Chapter 17.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f535503460f94c77670/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How can you remember these levels?
1. Kingdom __________
2. Phylum __________
3. Class __________
4. Order __________
5. Family __________
6. Genus __________
7. Species __________
![Page 12: Taxonomy The science of naming and classifying organisms Chapter 17.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f535503460f94c77670/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cladistics is classification based on common ancestry.
• Phylogeny is the evolutionary history for a group of species.– evidence from living species, fossil record,
and molecular data– shown with branching tree diagrams

![Page 26: Taxonomy The science of naming and classifying organisms Chapter 17.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f535503460f94c77670/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Molecular clocks use mutations to estimate
evolutionary time.• Mutations add up at a constant rate in related species.
– As more time passes, there will be more mutations.
DNA sequence from ahypothetical ancestor
The DNA sequences from twodescendant species show mutationsthat have accumulated (black).
The mutation rate of thissequence equals one mutationper ten million years.
Mutations add up at a fairlyconstant rate in the DNA of species that evolved from a common ancestor.
Ten million years later—one mutation in each lineage
Another ten million years later—one more mutation in each lineage
![Page 27: Taxonomy The science of naming and classifying organisms Chapter 17.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f535503460f94c77670/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Mitochondrial DNA is used to study closely related species.
grandparents
parents
child
Nuclear DNA is inherited from bothparents, making it more difficult totrace back through generations.
Mitochondrial DNA ispassed down only from the mother of each generation,so it is not subject to recombination.
mitochondrialDNA
nuclear DNA
– mutation rate ten times faster than nuclear DNA– passed down unshuffled from mother to
offspring

The current tree of life has three domains.
![Page 31: Taxonomy The science of naming and classifying organisms Chapter 17.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f535503460f94c77670/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Classification is always a work in progress. • The tree of life shows our most current understanding. • New discoveries can lead to changes in classification.
– Until 1866: only two kingdoms,Animalia and Plantae
Animalia
Plantae

The three domains in the tree of life are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
• Domains are above the kingdom level. – proposed by Carl Woese based on rRNA studies
of prokaryotes– domain model more clearly shows prokaryotic
diversity
