Binomial Nomenclation |
is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name (which may be shortened to just "binomial"), a binomen or a scientific name; more informally it is also called a Latin name. The first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs; the second part identifies the species within the genus. For example, humans belong to the genus Homo and within this genus to the species Homo sapiens. |

1.genus comes before the species. |
|
Breeding, Why and when to use it. |
To evolve their species and keep the species from going instict. |

King = Kingdom Because = Breed |
|
Species |
the major subdivision of a genus or subgenus, regarded as the basic category of biological classification, composed of related individuals that resemble one another, are able to breed among themselves, but are not able to breed with members of another species. |
|
Hybrid |
In biology a hybrid is an offspring of two animals or plants of different breeds, varieties, species, or genera. |

Spider Key, Dicodomous tree and how to use them |
A dichotomous and a Spider key are devices that can be used to easily identify an unknown organism. |
|
Monoplae |
An animal that gives birth |
|
Marsupuials |
Animals that give birth prematurely. EG Kangaroo |
|
Cladistics and what are the benefits |
Biochemical, is an approach to biological classification in which organisms are grouped together based on whether or not they have one or more shared unique characteristics that come from the group's last common ancestor and are not present in more distant ancestors. |
|
Morphological and what are the benefits |
Classical way of sorting out animals, Morphology is a branch of biology dealing with the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features |

Phylogecy |
|
Phylogenic tree |
A phylogenetic tree or evolutionary tree is a branching diagram or "tree" showing the inferred evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities—their phylogeny—based upon similarities and differences in their physical or genetic characteristics. The taxa joined together in the tree are implied to have descended from a common ancestor. |
|
Taxonomy |
is the science of defining groups of biological organisms on the basis of shared characteristics and giving names to those groups. |
