Can someone please explain and help me with this question 1. As an alien taxonomist, it is your responsibility to classify these existing organism types.

a. Create a taxonomic scheme using only kingdom, phylum, genus, and species. The intermediate categories have been eliminated since the total number of species has been drastically reduced. (Two Kingdoms are recommended). Be sure to include the number of the organism with the scheme.
b. Create Latin-sounding names for each organism. Remember, these will be scientific names and will include the genus and species classification. The species name should reflect a characteristic of the organism. Written in this form: Genus species (genus capitalized, species remains lower case, entire name is italicized if typed or underlined if handwritten). 1. Taxonomical scheme: First, divide up all your organisms into two kingdoms based on shared characteristics, then break each kingdom into phyla. From there, you can decide how many genera you want in each phylum, then assign species to each genus.
Here are some examples to get you started as well as a blank guide.
