- The “kingdom” concept is considered out-of-date but most continue to use it in a revised manner. What are the traditional Linnaean taxonomic categories: Kingdom, phylum, ____________, ___________, ____________, _______________, species. When the traditional Linnaean taxonomic categories are not used, people can say “clade” or “taxon” for any genetic group.arrow_forwardRemembering the order of the taxonomic system from Domain to species is something you will need to know. One method to memorize a list is to use a Mnenomic device. The two best devices for taxonomy are either an Acronym or an Acrostic. Please see this link OR ask instructor if you need help on this!

It refers to the relationship between ancestors and descendants and relationships among descendant taxa. It shows the lineage of taxa which can be summarized in a branching diagram called a phylogenetic tree.1.
