Question

Carl Linnaeus developed a classification scheme for all living organisms. Write down the full Linnaean classification for both a human and a dog (yes, go look it up!). What does the classification of these two organisms say about their relatedness? How does the relatedness of these organism relate to the theory of Evolution? Please consider and use the following words in your explanation: ancestor, homologous traits, vestigial traits and classification.

Answer 1

Answer:

             Human =  Homo sapien

             Dog      =   Canis  lupus

Explanation:

                    Dog:

                     Kingdom: Animalia      

                     Phylum: Chordata

                     Class: Mammalia

                      Order: Carnivora

                      Family: Canidae

                      Genus: Canis

                      Species: C. lupus

Human being:-      

                         Kingdom: Animalia

                         phylum:    Cordata    

                          Class:     Mammalia

                          Order:      Primates

                          Family:     Hominidae

                          Subfamily: Homininae

                          Genus:      Homo

                           Specie:    Sepien

Both the dog and human are related in such a way that the both have same class and they have common ancestor they have evolved from same evolutionary parents.Both the organism have homologous organs those organs which have same structure but different function like the forearm of the human and dog have common structure but different function. same like they have some organs which are vestigial organ like vermiform appendix .
