How the knowlede of classification be applied to access the charactristics of different organisms when visit to zoo,herbaria or gardens.
Answers
Answer: We could choose almost any characteristic as a basis for sorting animals. Some are
more helpful than others.
For example, consider using colour. We might group together all animals that are
blue; blue wrens, blue whales, bluebottles and blue crabs.
Or we may classify animals according to where they live, grouping together those
animals, for instance, that are found in human households; humans, dogs,
budgerigars, cockroaches, cats, mice, lice, flies, fleas – a very mixed bag!
Using an animal’s colour or where it lives as a basis for classification is not, for a
biologist, a very useful basis for a first sorting of animals because animals that are
blue may have little or nothing else in common.
People who classify animals have found that if they use structural characteristics as
a basis for classification, the animals they group together have a great deal more in
common.
