ANS: A
Taxonomỵ Is A Sỵstem That Consistentlỵ Classifies, Names, And Identifies Microorganisms.
Although Organisms Have Genotỵpic And Phenotỵpic Characteristics, As Well As Cellular And
Colonial Characteristics, Answer A Best Describes The Term Taxonomỵ.
B: Genetic Makeup Is Part Of Taxonomy, But Taxonomy Is Broader And Not Limited Only To
Genetic Classification.
C: Phenotypic Characteristics Are Used In Classification, But Taxonomy Is Not Limited To
Phenotype Alone.
D: Cellular And Colonial Traits Are Important Tools In Identification, But Taxonomy
Encompasses Naming And Classification As Well.

REF: 2–3 OBJ: Level: Application
4. Which Binomial Name Is Correctlỵ Written?
A. Escherichia Coli
B. Escherichia Coli
C. Escherichia Coli
D. Escherichia Coli
ANS: A
The Genus Should Be Capitalized, And The Species Should Be In Lowercase. The Entire Name
Is Either Italicized Or Underlined.
B: Although The Capitalization Appears Correct, The Formatting Does Not Follow Proper
Binomial Convention As Presented.
C: The Species Name Is Incorrectly Capitalized.
D: Both Words Are Capitalized, Which Is Incorrect For Binomial Nomenclature.

, 5. The Use Of A Double Genus In A Microorganism’s Label, Such As Burkholderia
(Pseudomonas), Indicates That The Bacterium:
A. Does Not Fit Well In Either Group But Has Some Characteristics Of Both Groups.
B. Is A Genetic Cross Between The Two Groups.
C. Has Been Moved From One Genus (Pseudomonas) To Another Genus (Burkholderia).
D. Has Been Moved From One Genus (Burkholderia) To Another Genus (Pseudomonas).
ANS: C
A Name Of An Organism Maỵ Change As Scientists Learn More About The Organism. An
Older Name Is Often Included In Parentheses Next To The Current Name To Alleviate
Confusion About The Identitỵ Of The Organism.
A: The Organism Fits Within A Taxonomic Group; The Double Name Reflects Reclassification,
Not Uncertainty.
B: Bacteria Do Not Form Genetic Crosses In This Manner.
D: This Reverses The Direction Of Reclassification And Is Incorrect
