1. Which do you think is a more basic
characteristic for classifying
organisms?

(b) the kind of cells they are
made of. Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

(b)the kind of cells they are

Explanation:

because in a particular place there could be several thousand of species of microorganism living togetherr (both eukaryotes & prokaryotes)

hence if we can distinguish between them on basis of type of cells so then we can classify them more elaborately

Answer 2

The most basic classification of organisms should be established on the kind of cells they are made up of. This is because the habitat can have species with different characteristics living harmoniously whereas the entities with similar cell arrangement will exhibit equivalent characteristics.
