Explain the classification of organisms on the basis of evolution
Answers
Explanation:
The method of arranging organisms into groups on the basis of similarities and differences is called classification. Evolution on the other hand refers to a slow, gradual and continuous process by which the previously existing organisms develop into existing living organisms
There were different criteria to be followed in the arrangement of organisms into categories. Every classification started with a basic design, characteristics, similarities, dissimilarities, etc.
another set of organisms developed a new advanced body design different from their ancestor. The former ones are called ‘primitive or lower’ organisms and the latter group is called ‘advanced or higher’ organisms. But these terms, do not justify the evolutionary differences. We can call primitive ones, ‘older organisms’ and advanced ones are ‘young organisms’. Older organisms have simple body designs while young organisms have complex body designs. Thus, evolution has resulted from simple older organism to complex young organisms.
