Document Summary
The characteristics of life: high degree of order and complexity, 2. Cataloging life (20. 3: linnaean classification system (1707-1778, developed binomial nomenclature: genus species, shared characteristics still used today, e. g. Homo sapiens, mus musculus, felix catus: each organism has a unique genus and species name, super kingdoms (very outdated, not used, prokaryota. Animals: 1969: five-kingdom classification system by whittaker (also outdated) Different divisions of life: carl woese in late 1970, molecular genetics used to recognize old divisions were inaccurate, three domains used today. Currently : the term monera is no longer used; it used to encompass the bacteria and archaea, protista- single celled organisms with nucleus. Classifying human beings: kingdom: animals, phylum: chordates, subphylum: vertebrates, class: mammals, order: primates, family: hominid, genus: homo, species: sapiens. Implications of linnaean classification: use of dna, similarity depends on time and change, classification results from real events. *the information that structures living entities is contained in their dna.
