Which statement best explains why the classification schemes of taxonomists have changed over time? Some groups of organisms have unusual biochemistry. There are no guidelines as to how organisms may be classified. Improved technology increases the amount of information known about organisms. Newly discovered organisms are always being added to the lowest levels of classification systems.

Systematics involves the classification into groups with a focus on evolutionary relationships. True or False An artificial system of classification involves groupings organisms based on similarities and identifying shared characteristics. True or false
in our system of classification, organism R and X are placed in the same group. Organism B is placed in a different group. This tells you: R and X are less closely related to each other than to B B and R are more closely related to each other than to X X and B are more closely related to each other than to R R and X are more closely related to each other than to B none of these organisms are related
Which of the following statements is correct about the hierarchy of the taxonomic system currently used to classify organisms? Many different families of organisms belong to the same order. Many different orders of organisms belong to the same species. Many different classes of organisms belong to the same genus. Many different kingdoms of organisms belong to the same phylum.
Which level of taxonomic classification will have the the most types of organisms included within it (i.e. the collective largest)? Phylum Domain Kingdom Order Genus
A standardized classification system based on evolutionary trends and relationships was established to group living things. Which of these justifies the use of a standardized classification system? This standardized classification allows for organisms with similar appearance to be easily grouped. This standardized classification allows for scientific agreement on grouping of organisms worldwide. This standardized classification does not provide a common mechanism for scientists to use when collaborating. The standardized classification system requires that no changes be made to a species taxonomic placement after initial naming.
Which combinations of taxa is used in identifying the organisms with binomial nomenclature? Group of answer choices class and order kingdom and phylum genus and species family and genus
When classifying organisms, all of these qualities are important, but which one can most accurately tell us how closely related two species are? geographical range DNA analysis physical appearance internal organs
Which of the following is true about classification (choose all that apply)? Group of answer choices it requires an understanding of evolution and inheritance it is used to help organize the vast amount of biological diversity it is fundamentally based on evolutionary relationships the designation of taxonomic groups never changes it was initially based on the assumption that morphologies are similar in related organisms
Create a document with a list of the 8 levels of the taxonomic classification system. Research one organism from each of the following categories: bacteria, fungi, plant, fish, amphibian, reptile, bird, and mammal. Fill in the correct scientific name for each of the taxonomic levels beginning at domain. Compare and contrast the taxonomic profile of the organisms in the document below your list. How would you identify which organisms have more characteristics in common? Create a phylogenetic tree of the organisms that you selected.
All organisms belong to certain classification. Why do organisms need to classified?
What is a group of organisms that are closely related and share similar characteristics? Species Genus Taxonomy Similar organisms
Systematics differs from taxonomy as the former includes Identification of organisms Characterisation of organisms Nomenclature of organisms Evolutionary relationship among organisms
