Species:
a) smallest and most specific taxonomic group
b) only one kind of organism belongs to a species group
c) members are not identical to each other (allows for individual differences)
d) a group of organisms that can make offspring that are capable of reproducing

Binomial Nomenclature
common name: name that is commonly used to identify an organism
Examples: house cat, lion, gray wolf, pet dog, coyote, leopard frog
Binomial NomenclatureBinomial Nomenclature
B) Reasons a Scientific Naming System B) Reasons a Scientific Naming System was Needed:was Needed:
1) Language differences make it difficult for scientists to communicate with each other.
2) Some organisms have more than one common name.
3) Some common names are misleading.Examples: a.Silverfish are insects, not fish.b.A seahorse is not a horse.
