What Is The Scientific Process Of Arranging Organisms Into Groups Based On Similarities?
Diagram Of The 5 Ranks.
The process is called Classification. Classification is a method used by scientist to categorize species and animals. There are seven ranks that scientists use to classify animals. First we start off with all different types of animals, but as you group them with similarities they continue to go into smaller groups and eventually there will only be a few animals in each group. For example if we would get a classroom of 24 kids, and distinguished them by, glasses, color of shirts, color of hair, braces, color of eyes, gender, length of hair, and type of shoes, in the end we could probably have at least 3-4 kids in each group.
The Seven Ranks Are: Kingdoms, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, And Species.

Who First Started The Idea Of Classifying?
Carl Linnaeus
The person who started the idea of classifying was Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus attempted to classify all species in his time. Carl Linnaeus was born in the countryside, in southern Sweden. Linnaeus was a physician and zoologist he traveled throughout Sweden to find different species of animals and plants. By the time Linnaeus died he was a very known scientist throughout Europe.
What method did he use to group organisms?
Carl Linnaeus used the method Taxonomy to group the organisms. Taxonomy is the science of naming and classifying organisms. Taxonomy is sometimes called "biological taxonomy". Taxonomy and Classification are very different because Taxonomy is used to group larger groups of animals. Classification on the other hand is used by scientists to group into smaller groups of animals.
How did Linnaeus classify organisms?
Linnaeus classified organisms with the system Binomial Nomenclature. Binomial means "two names", and nomenclature means "list of names". So it describes a system that names something using two names, or words, and most scientific names are in latin.
What are the rankings in biological classification or 7 levels of classifications?
The rankings in biological classification are Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
Kingdom is the the Number One Ranking in biological classification. It is called (Animalia) Animal.
Phylum is the Second Ranking in Biological classification. Class is the Third Ranking in Biological classification. Order is the fourth ranking in biological classification. Family is the fifth ranking, Genus is the sixth, and last but not least Species is the seventh and last ranking in biological classification.
Kingdom is the the Number One Ranking in biological classification. It is called (Animalia) Animal.
Phylum is the Second Ranking in Biological classification. Class is the Third Ranking in Biological classification. Order is the fourth ranking in biological classification. Family is the fifth ranking, Genus is the sixth, and last but not least Species is the seventh and last ranking in biological classification.
What makes each rank different from the other?
What makes each rank different is that each rank is not specific so Kingdom starts off with a hundred different species, but as you start to go down the ranks the animals start to become more specific, and there is less and less animals in each rank.
Which group includes the most Species?
The group with the most species would be Kingdom, because it starts off with every single animal in the world before it starts to go into groups, and starts to go separately.
Which group is the most specific?
The group that is most specific is the rank Species. Species is the last level of all seven ranks. Which means there is only one animal in that rank that is very specific instead of the rest.
Describe the process of how scientists keep track of all the organisms?
Scientists keep track of all organisms by using the classification. The process is Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Spieces. Ever since using classification scientist have discovered more then 1000 species.
