Question
Dear Ms. Silber,
My name is Kyle and I am in 10th grade biology. My teacher gave us an extra credit assignment to write 10 question for an expert to answer. Here are my questions. Thanks for your help.

1. What is taxonomy?
2. What is taxonomy used for?
3. Who is Caroleus Linneaous and what does he have to do with taxonomy?
4. What are the levels of classification?
5. What do they mean?
6. What is a subspecies?
7. What is the six kingdom system and what is it used for?
8. Why is the six kingdom system so important?
9. What is the three domain system?
10. What does the three domain system have to do with the six kingdom system?

Answer
Dear Kyle,
I'm sorry but I don't answer the "homework" kind of question - one where you can find the answer right in your textbook or from another souce (library or on-line). When you look up the answer yourself you will learn more and better than if I do it. Maybe, my "non-answer" will get you some extra credit anyway; I hope so. Good luck in your course.
