QuestionsWhat traits were used by Aristotle to classify animals?

Why is this considered a poor method by today’s standards?

Name the major classification groups, from largest to smallest?

What is binomial nomenclature?

Why is it used (i.e. why use Latin names?)

What are the five kingdoms?

Are humans more closely related to a mouse or a chicken? Explain.

List two ways how plants and animals are different and similar.

What characteristic is exclusive to bacteria?

If you discovered an organism with a cell wall, which kingdom would you know it does NOT belong to?

If you discovered animal that closely resembled a human, what Class and Order would it likely belong?

Which is the largest group? Order, Genus, or Family.
