Classification

 Classification is used to help scientist find a certain organism easier.I will show you the steps of classification in this blog.
  The organism  I am going to classify is the beagle.Here are the steps of classification.
DOMAIN
KINGDOM
PHYLUM
CLASS
ORDER
FAMILY
GENUS 
SPECIES


  The first one is the domain.The domain was just recently found.It contains the most organisms.The beagle belongs in the domain eukaryote.The eukaryote are all organisms that are not bacteria.Some examples of things that are in this group are beagles,maple,trees,cockroaches,sharks,shrimp,wolves,Monkeys,Whales and amoebas.


 The next group is the kingdom.the kingdom shows what kingdom an organism belongs in.The beagle belongs in the animal kingdom.Some  examples of the animal kingdom are beagles,cockroaches,sharks,shrimp,German Shepard,Monkeys,Whales and wolves.


  The next group is the Phylum.The beagle belongs in the group chordata,and that means it has a backbone.Here are some examples of what belong in chordata.Beagles,German Shepard,

Sharks,Coyotes,Wolves,Whales,and Monkeys.


 The next group is the Class.The beagle belongs in the group mamalia or mammal.The whale does not belong in this group because it does not have fur or feed its babies milk.The examples in this group are Monkeys,Coyotes,Beagles,Bobcats,German Shepard and Wolves.


 The next step is the Order.The beagle belongs in the group           carnivora or carnivore.That means that it eats meat.The monkeys do not belong in this group because they do not eat meat.

 The next group is the Family.The beagle belongs in the group canine or canis.That means all dogs go into this group.The cat does not belong in this group because it is a cat or feline.The animals that are left are the Wolves,Coyotes,German Shepard, and the beagle.


 Genus is the next group.A dogs scientific name is canis lupus.That is describing every type of dog.So the examples do not change.


 The last group is the most specific group.There is a special name for every animal.It is called the  binomial name.The beagle's scientific name is canis lupus familiaris.


 That is my blog hoped you liked it.
