The correct statements that accurately describe the history of classification are:
1. Every living organism has a genus species name with the first letter of the genus name capitalized and the species name all lower case.
2. Carolus Linnaeus developed a two-part naming system called binomial nomenclature, using a genus species name for all living organisms.
3. Aristotle grouped living organisms as either being plants or animals.
Explanation:
– The first statement is correct as it describes the formatting rules of scientific naming (binomial nomenclature).
– The second statement is accurate; Linnaeus is known for formalizing this system in the 18th century.
– The third statement reflects Aristotle’s early classification system, which was simplistic but foundational.
– The second statement is incorrect because organisms are classified by evolutionary relationships, not solely by color and size, and minerals are not classified with a genus-species naming system.
