Biodiversity

 Bio Life
Diversity quality or state of
having many Different forms,
types ideas

Biodiversity
Short for biological diversity simply
means all

life is different.

Three main types or levels

of Biodiversity:

Species diversity
Genetic diversity
Ecosystem diversity

Species Diversity
a group of genetically distinct
organisms that can have
offspring.

Genetic Diversity
That the genes and a specie is
varied.
Example: all dogs belongs to the same
species but there are different breeds
that have genes for different traits, such
as size color, and coat type

Ecosystem diversity
is that community of living
things is different from one
another

Classifying and Naming

Organisms
Taxonomy:
from the ancient Greek taxis which means
arrangement and nomia method

is the science of defining groups of biological

organisms on the basis of shared
characteristics and giving names to those
groups.

Organisms are group together into taxa and given

a taxonomic rank or taxonomic Hierarchy.

Carl Linnaeus
The Swedish Botanist also known as
Carl von Linn or Carolus Linnaeus, is
often called the Father of Taxonomy.
As he developed a system known as
linnean classification for categorization
of organisms.

Taxonomic Hierarchy
Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

Domain Classification /system is

divided into three Domains

Archaea domain:
Archaebacteria Kingdom
Bacteria Domain:
Eubacteria kingdom
Eukarya Domain

binomial nomenclature

for naming species or organisms or

simply called the Scientific name which
consist of the Genus and the Species

example :Felis is the genus and catus is

the species
Scientific name Felis catus
(for domesticated cats)
