Taxonomy and Classification Practice
Part A: circle the scientific name or organism that is least like the other two.
1. Canis familiarisCanis lupisFelis domesticus
2. Felis domesticusMus domesticusFelis concolor
3.
Part B: Answer the following questions in the space provided.4. Number the eight major classification groups in order from the group that
contains the most closely related organisms (1) to the group with the least closely related organisms.
_____ Class _____Family _____Genus _____Kingdom
_____Order _____Phylum _____Species
5. The scientific name of a green frog is Rana clamitans. a. What Genus is the green frog in? _____________________________
b. What species is the green frog? ______________________________
6. Use the classification of organisms in Table 2 to answer questions A-C.
a. Compare the dog, the wolf, and the human. How many levels of
classification are the same? _______________________
b. Which organism is least closely related to the others?
8. Scientific names for organism use Latin or Greek prefixes and words to describe the characteristics of the organism. For example the Giant Panda’s scientific name is Ailuropoda melanoleuca because leucos means white and melano means black
Use the prefixes below to create your own scientific names for the following organisms.
Blind Mole: Talpa _________________________ Latin and Greek words.acutus = sharp or pointedaustralis = southernborealis = northernleucos = white
Leopard Gecko: Eublepharis ______________________
Wild Cat: Felis ______________________________
American Crocodile: Crocodylus ________________________
Southern Right Whale: Eubalaena _________________________
