Question

PLEASE HELP 1.The term "binomial nomenclature" refers to an organism's

a. kingdom and phylum
b. class and order
c. family and genus
d. genus and species 2. Classes of organisms can be found within a(n)
a. phylum
b. order
c. species
d. family

Answer 1

1) d. genus and species

2) a. phylum

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial nomenclature means the two-part name that organisms are given. Take homo sapiens as an example. Homo is the genus and sapiens is the specific species.

You need two parts to a name. Think about it. There are lots of bears, so simply calling them ursus (bear) wouldn't cut it. You need to clarify by adding the second part: Ursus americanus (American black bear).

For the second question, remember the ordering: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species (I use this to remember: Dear King Philip Came Over From Great Spain)

This means that classes fit within phylums. However, since classes are a larger grouping than orders, families, or species, you could not find a class within those options.
