Explain the Classification system that places all organisms into one of three large domains ?
Write a list of the following taxonomic categories in order from most inclusive to least inclusive: genus, order, domain, family, phylum, species, kingdom, class.
At the end of the 19th century, taxonomists adopted the goal of developing a natural system of classification. In a natural system, which kinds of organisms are classified together?
