Question

"Two areas of study namely ’evolution' and 'classification’ are interlinked". Justify this statement.

Answer 1

Classification is based on similarities and differences among organisms. Organisms having same type of features and level of development are kept in same class. Organisms resemble with each other because if we trace back their origin we find that they were developed from common ancestors. Evolution means studying organisms based on the complexity of their structure and features and arranging them in order of their complexity. So it is evident that both classification and evolution are interlinked
