Genus
Species…var.or cul.
Species


The smallest group of organisms
classified which can interbreed with
each other to produce fertile offspring; it
is always written w/ a small letter.
An example of man’s classification on
the Genus level is Homo sapiens where
the Genus name is always capitalized.
Underline if handwritten. (Linneus?)

Vertebrates

Divided into 5 groups: All chordates have notochord,
dorsal hollow nerve cord, “gill slits”,& muscle blocks,
EX?
– Fish (cartilaginous & boney fishes, need
water to live)

Seed Producing Plants,
Gymnosperms (Conifers) &
Angiosperms (Anthophytes)
Conifers (nonflowering plants) bear
cones with seeds; pines, fir, cypress,
cedar, redwoods; they have scalelike or
needlelike leaves; they are evergreen.
 Anthophytes (the flowering plants),
largest most diverse group of plants,
~300,000 species on earth, Two types:
monocots & dicots

cones, not enclosed
by fruits
 naked seeds
