Two areas of study namely 'evolution' and 'classification' are interlinked".Justify this statement. Variations arise in each organism which forms the basis of formation of new species and ultimately lead to evolution. ... Thus, the classification of organisms reflects evolutionary relationships among them.
Answers
Answer:
Classification of organisms is based on relative similarities and differences in their internal and external structures. Similarities among organisms will allow us to group them and study the groups and classify them. Some basic characteristics will be shared by most organisms. The more characteristics the two species will have in common, the more closely they are related. The more closely they are related, the more recently they have had a common ancestor. So we can say that classification of a species is in fact a reflection of their evolutionary relationship.
Answer:
Classification refers to the groping of organisms on the basis of different characteristics.
Evolution leads to the development of new charcteristics.
these characteristics thus become the criteria for classification.
