Hy,
Biological classification was done by Carl Linneaus. He's known as the father of taxonomy.
The most commonly followed is of Whittaker, 5 kingdom classification, which has Kingdom Monera, Kingdom Protista, Kingdom Plantae, Kingdom Fungae and Kingdom Animalia.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.

Hey brainly user!

Here is your answer....

  • Total number of animal species are 1.25 millions. A lot of variations occur in their structure and function. They exhibit great diversity in structure, habitat, habits and modes of life
  • So understand the interactions among highly diversified animal group a Systematic classification is needed which is biological classification
  • Father of taxonomy, founder of modern systematics was Carolous Linnaeus. He has introduced the system if hierarchical classification
  • Numerical taxonomy and phylogentic classification both of which are natural systems of classification emerged during 19 th and 20th centuries
  • Phylogentic classification is also called cladistic classification. It is an evolutionary classification and it explains how the common ancestry was scared by different animal groups
  • This classification emphasize on genetic distance between all species of phylogentic tree. This tree like diagrams for phylogeny was introduced by the Earnst Hackel
  • Cladistic classification considers the occur once of analogous classification by convergent evolution. Different organisms live in the same environment share these characteristics. Genetically they are distantly related ex:wings of sparrow and petagia of flying squirrels
  • It is also considered as homologous characters are functionally different from the structural plan and development. It is also called as divergent evolution
