Year 9 Biology: Classifying Living Things

1. The document is a biology worksheet about classifying living things from Year 9 at the Westminster School in Dubai. It covers topics like the binomial system of naming organisms scientifically with their genus and species. Some sample questions are included to test understanding of these concepts. 2. The binomial system uses a two-part scientific name, with the first part being the genus and the second being the species. For example, the rat species Rattus rattus has the genus Rattus and species rattus. 3. A species refers to a group of organisms that can reproduce and produce fertile offspring. The scientific name places the genus first, followed by the specific epithet or species name.
