The binomial name for a goldfish is Carassius auratus.
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
class: Mammalia
order: Primata
family: Hominidae
Genus: Homo
Species: sapiens
our scientific names is just Homo sapiens.
Depending on the level of study you're doing, you may require different answers. If you're just looking for the "name" of the human species, it's Homo sapiens, but if you're looking for a full classification, for say, GCSE level, it's:
Animals
Vertebrates
Mammals
Primates
Hominids
Homo
sapiens
However, if you're still aiming to be more technical and up to date, the most complete one is:
Eukaryota
Animalia
Chordata
Vertebrata (Subphylum)
Mammalia
Primates
Anthropoidea (Suborder)
Hominoidea (Superfamily)
Hominidae
Homo
sapiens
great answer. couldn't you also say that we further sub-classify humans into races? or is that not considered an official classification?
It's not a true biological classification, but an interesting topic for discussion :)Humans are in Phylum Chordata because they possess a notochord, a dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail at some point during their development. These characteristics are defining traits of the phylum Chordata, to which humans belong.
Water striders have adaptations such as hydrophobic hairs on their legs that trap air, allowing them to float on water's surface tension. Their long legs help distribute their weight and prevent them from breaking the water's surface. Additionally, their bodies are streamlined and lightweight, enabling them to glide effortlessly on the water's surface and capture prey.
Raccoons belong to the class Mammalia, which consists of animals that are warm-blooded, have hair or fur, and give live birth to their young.
The classification of the Giant Panda is as follows:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Subclass: Theria
Infraclass: Eutheria
Order: Carnivora
Family: Ursidae
Genus: Ailuropoda
Species: melanoleuca
Thus the scientific name of the Giant Panda is Ailuropoda melanoleuca.
The taxonomic group above genus and below family is the "tribe." A tribe consists of one or more genera that share common characteristics.
The etymology of the scientific name "Sphodromantis viridis" is as follows:
Euglena is actually the genus name as well as the common name for this organism. Finding the exact species is difficult, because the genus Euglena has dozens of species in it.
See the Related Links for more information about the genus Euglena as well as a list of the species in this genus.
Biological classification of organisms is based on their similarities and differences in characteristics such as genetic makeup, anatomy, and behavior. Organisms are grouped into different categories, such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species, based on these characteristics. The goal of classification is to organize and understand the diversity of life on Earth.
There is no scientific name for an "emali." It is likely a misspelling or a made-up term. If you provide more context or details, I may be able to help further.
I know the wolf belongs in the Phylum Chordata :P
Chordata/e are:
~ animals that have a notochord that supports the body (or a backbone) - it includes all vertebrates.
~ all pilsterally symmetrical
~ have a nerve chord running down the back
These can rage from
- cows
- sheep
- dogs
- cats
- elephants
- giraffes
An example of an invertebrate with a hard shell is a lobster. Lobsters are crustaceans that have a tough exoskeleton made of chitin, which helps protect their soft bodies.
The genus name for ants is "Formica." The species name will vary depending on the specific type of ant, such as "Formica rufa" for the red wood ant or "Formica fusca" for the silky field ant.
Amoebas are members of the phylum Amoebozoa. They do not belong to the subphylum Sarcomastigophora.
Horses belong to the chordata phylum because they have a dorsal nerve cord, a notochord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail during some stage of their development. These characteristics are defining features of chordates.
The divisional names for fungi are primarily based on morphological characteristics such as the structure of reproductive organs and spores, as well as genetic information. These names help classify fungi into distinct groups based on their shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships. The classification system is regularly updated as new information is discovered through research.
The phylum Chordata is organized into three subphyla: Urochordata (tunicates), Cephalochordata (amphioxus), and Vertebrata (vertebrates). These subphyla are distinguished by specific characteristics, such as the presence or absence of a backbone, which differentiate them within the larger phylum Chordata.
Kingdom fungi are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter in their environment. They do not produce their own food through photosynthesis like autotrophic organisms do.
Animals without backbones, such as insects, crustaceans, and mollusks, can grow coverings like exoskeletons or shells. These hard outer coverings help protect and support their bodies, allowing them to thrive in various environments.
The highest, most inclusive category is typically the domain or overarching theme that encompasses all other categories within a classification system.
The second part of the scientific name, known as the specific epithet, is unique to each species within a genus. It helps to distinguish one species from another within the same genus and is specific to that particular organism.
Yes, snakes belong to the phylum Reptilia. Reptiles are characterized by their scaly skin, cold-blooded nature, and laying eggs on land.
