Knowledge point biological classification system
Biologists divide organisms into species and genera according to their similarity, and scientifically describe the morphological structure and physiological function of each group in order to clarify the genetic relationship and evolutionary relationship between different groups. Classification is based on the characteristics of biological morphological structure and physiological function.
Classification system is a hierarchical system, which usually includes seven main levels: species, genera, families, orders, classes, phylum and boundary. The basic unit of classification is species. The higher the classification level, the more similarities between the creatures involved; The lower the classification level, the smaller the similarity between the creatures involved. With the deepening of research, the classification level is getting higher and higher, and sub-units can be attached above and below units, such as superfamily, subclass, superfamily, suborder, suborder, suborder, superfamily, subfamily and so on.
