Classifying Life
Your friend has researched the biological classification of an organism. However, he
mistakenly scrambled the order of the different classification groups. In addition, he cannot
remember the common name of the organism. Your friend needs your assistance.
The list below shows his notes. Reorganize the information in the correct order,
beginning with the largest classification group and ending with the smallest. Use clues in
the scientific names to predict the identity of the organism. Then conduct research to see
whether your prediction is correct.
