Bionmial Nomenclature

a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages.

biochemical relationship

The study of the chemical substances and vital processes occurring in living organisms; biological chemistry; physiological chemistry.

taxonomic rank. Other well-known ranks are life, domain, kingdom, phylum, order, family, genus, and species, with class fitting between phylum and order.

embryological relationship

involves comparing the embryo with other animals that share the same habitat (i.e deserts, oceans, forests) to help taxonomists classify organisms

A eukaryote is any organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other structures enclosed within membranes. Eukaryotes are formally the taxon Eukarya

evolutionary relationship

It means how two things are related with respect to their evolutionary descent. For example when talking about genes, orthology is a property of genes where two genes separated from their last common ancestor (LCA) by a speciation event.

In biological classification, a family (Latin: familia, plural familiae) is a taxonomic rank between order, and genus. A family may be divided into one or more subfamiles, intermediate ranks above the rank of genus.

axonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family.

Homologous structures may not necessarily perform the same function but they share a common ancestral origin.

the second highest taxonomic rank below domain. Kingdoms are divided into smaller groups called phyla.

A taxonomic rank used in classifying organisms, generally below the class, and comprised of families sharing a set of similar nature or character

a taxonomic rank below kingdom and above class. Traditionally, in botany the term division is used instead of "phylum", although in 1993 the International Botanical Congress accepted the designation "phylum".

prokaryote is a single-celled organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organelles.

a species is one of the basic units of biological classification and a taxonomic rank. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.

In scientific classification of biota, a subphylum is a taxonomic rank in zoological nomenclature. The taxonomic rank of 'subdivision' in fungi and plant taxonomy is equivalent to 'subphylum' in zoological taxonomy.

the branch of science concerned with classification, especially of organisms; systematics.

biochemical relationship	The study of the chemical substances and vital processes occurring in living organisms; biological chemistry; physiological chemistry.
class	taxonomic rank. Other well-known ranks are life, domain, kingdom, phylum, order, family, genus, and species, with class fitting between phylum and order.
embryological relationship	involves comparing the embryo with other animals that share the same habitat (i.e deserts, oceans, forests) to help taxonomists classify organisms
eukaryotic cell	A eukaryote is any organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other structures enclosed within membranes. Eukaryotes are formally the taxon Eukarya
evolutionary relationship	It means how two things are related with respect to their evolutionary descent. For example when talking about genes, orthology is a property of genes where two genes separated from their last common ancestor (LCA) by a speciation event.
family	In biological classification, a family (Latin: familia, plural familiae) is a taxonomic rank between order, and genus. A family may be divided into one or more subfamiles, intermediate ranks above the rank of genus.
genus	axonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family.
homologous structure	Homologous structures may not necessarily perform the same function but they share a common ancestral origin.
kingdom	the second highest taxonomic rank below domain. Kingdoms are divided into smaller groups called phyla.
order	A taxonomic rank used in classifying organisms, generally below the class, and comprised of families sharing a set of similar nature or character
Phylum	a taxonomic rank below kingdom and above class. Traditionally, in botany the term division is used instead of "phylum", although in 1993 the International Botanical Congress accepted the designation "phylum".
prokaryotic cell	prokaryote is a single-celled organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organelles.
species	a species is one of the basic units of biological classification and a taxonomic rank. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.
sub-phylum	In scientific classification of biota, a subphylum is a taxonomic rank in zoological nomenclature. The taxonomic rank of 'subdivision' in fungi and plant taxonomy is equivalent to 'subphylum' in zoological taxonomy.
taxonomy	the branch of science concerned with classification, especially of organisms; systematics.
