Practice With Taxonomy and Classification PDF

This document provides a practice worksheet on taxonomy and classification. It contains questions to test understanding of classifying organisms into the six main kingdoms and relating organisms based on their taxonomic ranks of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. The questions cover identifying which kingdoms organisms would be classified in, the taxonomic rank that organisms in the same class must share, filling in a taxonomic hierarchy, and determining which taxonomic ranks would have the most individual species.
