gtID#. For security reasons, in the spring of 2003, Georgia Tech began using a generated number as an identifier, replacing the social security number. All students (current and former), faculty, staff and affiliates have been assigned a gtID#. For best results, use last name, first name, and birth date ONLY.
In biological classification, rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in a taxonomic hierarchy. Examples of taxonomic ranks are species, genus, family, class, kingdom, etc. A given rank subsumes under it less general categories, that is, more specific descriptions of life forms.xamples of taxonomic ranks are species, genus, family, class, kingdom, etc. A given rank subsumes under it less general categories, that is, more specific descriptions of life forms.
In biology, a species (abbreviated sp. , with the plural form species abbreviated spp. ) is one of the basic units of biological classification and a taxonomic rank.A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms where two hybrids are capable of reproducing fertile offspring, typically using sexual reproduction.While in many cases this definition is adequate, the difficulty of defining species is known as the species problem.he first part of a binomial is the generic name, the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is either called the specific name (a term used only in zoology) or the specific epithet (the term used in botany, which can also be used in zoology).
