Core
Organisms can be classified into groups by the features that they share.
-
species – a group of organisms that can reproduce to produce fertile offspring
-
the binomial system of naming species – an internationally agreed system in which the scientific name of an organism is made up of two parts showing the genus and species
-
the genus (always given a capital letter)
-
and followed by the species (starting with a lowercase letter)
-
-
When typed, binomial names are always in italics (which indicates they are Latin) e.g. Homo sapiens
-
The sequence of classification is: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
