- 1What is the binomial nomenclature and why is it essential in the classification of living organisms?It is a system used to assign names to animals and plants using two terms; genus and species (family name and specific name)
It is an international ID system, so there is little room for ID error as it is very specific. - 2List the characteristics of adult stage Phylum Arthropoda-hardened exoskeleton
-usually 2-3 distinct body segments
-usually one pair of compound eyes
-usually one pair segmented antennae
-muscles attached to exoskeleton - 3Which classification is more specific, Phylum or Species, and why?Species is more specific because it is a more narrow scope of identification. Phylum IDs a group within the animal Kingdom, species IDs the exact name if an individual organism. Species is the final step for naming an organism.
