Classification
LOs
•Define and describe the binomial system of
naming species
•Classify the five main classes and describe their
features
•Use simple dichotomous keys based on
features

ClickBiology
Starter: Place the following organisms
into groups of your choosing.

Whales and sharks

Whales and sharks both live in the sea, and could be
considered to look quite similar. However, they are entirely
different species:
whales

sharks

have lungs

have gills

warm-blooded
give birth to
live young

cold-blooded

mammal

fish

lay eggs

Whales and sharks look similar because they have developed structures such as
fins and a streamlined body to help them to live in the sea environment.

ClickBiology
What is a species?
A group of
organisms that look
the same

A group of
organisms that look
different but can
breed

A group of
organisms that can
breed

A group of similar
organisms that are
capable of
interbreeding to
produce fertile
offspring
ClickBiology
What is a species?
A huge variety of organisms live on our planet.
Scientists have put living things into groups to make them
easier to identify. This is called classification.
Organisms can be classified into
different species.
A species is a group of similar organisms
that are capable of interbreeding to
produce fertile offspring.

So far, scientists have identified around 290,000 species of
plants, 1,250,000 species of animals and 5 million species of
bacteria living on our planet.
ClickBiology
The grouping together of
animals is called classification.
A group of similar organisms is
called a taxon. The study of
classification is called
taxonomy.
ClickBiology
The importance of habitat
Sometimes organisms with a recent common ancestor live in
different environments. They may evolve quite differently, even though their DNA
is similar.
The Galapagos Islands are home to many species
of finch that all evolved from a recent common
ancestor. However, today the finch species have
different features to help them survive on their
particular islands.

Some finches have beaks that are best for eating fruit, while others have beaks
adapted to eating seed or insects. This varies according to what the main source
of food is on the island where they live.

ClickBiology
Living in similar habitats
• Organisms that are not closely related
may share several features
• They have to solve the same
environmental problems

Belong to the phylum Cnidaria

Belong to the phylum Mollusca
ClickBiology
Closely related species can look very different
• The share certain characteristics and are classified close
together but live in very different habitats.
• Habitats determine their features

Arctic fox lives in the arctic

Fennec fox lives in the desert
ClickBiology
Problems with classifying species

Sometimes it is not easy to classify organisms into species.
Bacteria usually reproduce asexually. However, our definition
of ‘species’ is based on organisms that can breed together.
This definition therefore does not work for bacteria.
Many common duck species can breed together to
produce hybrids. There have been over 400 types
of duck hybrid recorded.
These are often fertile, and can breed with each
other or the native ducks, producing ducks with a
variety of characteristics.

ClickBiology
Problems with classifying species
Mules are hybrids, made by breeding a donkey with a horse.

+

=

Most are infertile, but occasionally female mules do mate with donkeys or horses
to produce offspring. This does not fit with our definition of species, and makes it
hard to classify
the animals.

Linnaeus (1707-1778)

ClickBiology
Binomial classification
The classification system that scientists
use today was developed by
Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century.
This system is known as binomial
classification. It uses Latin names, so
scientists around the world can use the
same names without confusion.
The first part of an organism’s scientific name is its genus,
and the second part is the species.
e.g.

Tyrannosaurus rex
Genus

species
ClickBiology
Evolution and classification
Classification enables us to explore the evolutionary origins of
an organism.
Two organisms in the same genus are
generally very similar, and are therefore
likely to share an ancestor in the recent past.
For example, the genus Canis includes
dogs, jackals and wolves.
Two organisms in the same kingdom (e.g. dogs
and spiders) share some characteristics, but are
different in many ways. Consequently, their
common ancestor is likely to be in the distant past.
ClickBiology
Evolutionary trees
An evolutionary tree represents the evolutionary relationship
between organisms. Organisms with recent common
ancestors are closer together on the tree.
Scientists use the following evidence to construct
evolutionary trees:
 genetics and DNA
 fossil records
 the structures of organisms
 patterns of embryonic
development.

ClickBiology
Keys use a series of questions to identify
unknown organisms

2. Stem is brown
Stem is yellow

frill

go to 2
go to 3

  1. Teacher notes Taxonomy is the science of studying classification.
  2. There are millions of species in world and only a small percentage has been identified. Half a million beetle species alone people job identifying species. Consistent in how we classify. For hundreds of years used system based on a swedish biologist called Carl linnaeus.

  5. Current classification system based on his system. Work topwards down you have 5 kingdoms. There are some 10 million species of living organisms (mostly insects), and many more extinct ones, so they need to be classified in a systematic way. In 1753 the Swede Carolus Linnaeus introduced the binomial nomenclature for naming organisms. This consists of two parts: a generic name (with a capital letter) and a specific name (with a small letter), e.g. Panthera leo (lion) and Panthera tigris (tiger). This system replaced non-standard common names, and is still in use today.
  6. Teacher notes The genus is usually given a capital letter and the species a lowercase letter. The name should be written in italics or underlined. Image credit: Painting by J.H. Scheffel. This work of art is in the public domain.
  7. Teacher notes You may wish to ask students to list the characteristics shared by the dog, jackal and wolf, and then those shared by the dog, spider and fish. Discuss the idea that animals which are more similar are classified more closely together, and have a common ancestor in the recent past. You might like to ask students to research the characteristics of animals in the Phylum Chordata, Class Mammalia and Order Carnivora to illustrate this further.

  13. Teacher notes It might be worth pointing out that the tree shows examples of mammals, and not every mammal is included. More able pupils could research a more complete tree. The answers to the questions posed on the slide, in order, are: chimp, dog, platypus. Further questions for discussion include: Which would you expect to share more characteristics, a dog and a horse or a mouse and a monkey? Why? Which pair of animals do you think had the most recent ancestor? Why? Which pair of animals do you think had the most distant ancestor? Why?
