Domain
A domain is the most inclusive of the levels (meaning it has the most number of individuals in the group). Domains are used to distinguish between the cell typesand, in the case of prokaryotes, where they are found and what the cell walls are made of.
The current system recognizes three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
Kingdom
Domains are further broken into Kingdoms. The current system recognizes six Kingdoms: Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, and Protista.
Phylum
The next division would be the phylum.
Class
Several related classes make up a phylum.
Order
Classes are further divided into Orders
Family
The next level of classification that orders are divided into are Families.
Genus
A genus is a group of closely related species. The genus name is the first part of the scientific name of an organism.
A domain is the highest (most general) rank of organisms.The three domains of life are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryota. Archaea are single-celled organisms similar to bacteria.
Kingdom
Before domains were introduced, kingdom was the highest taxonomic rank. the different kingdoms were Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Archaea.
Phylum
Phylum is the next rank after kingdom; it is more specific than kingdom, but less specific than class. There are 35 phyla in the kingdom Animalia.
Class
Class was the most general rank proposed by Linnaeus; phyla were not introduced until the 19th Century. There are 108 different classes in the kingdom Animalia.
Order
Order is more specific than class.There are between 19-26 orders of Mammalia, depending on how organisms are classified—sources differ.
Family
Family is, in turn, more specific. Some families in the order Carnivora. There are 12 total families in the order Carnivora.
Genus
Genus (plural: genera) is even more specific than family. It is the first part of an organism’s scientific name using binomial nomenclature; the second part is the species name.
Species
Species is the most specific major taxonomic rank; species are sometimes divided into subspecies. There are an estimated 8.7 million different species of organisms on Earth, but the vast majority have yet to be discovered and categorized.
