write three examples of range of variation for classification and importance of classification.
Answers
i) Size: Organisms vary greatly in size ranging from microscopic bacteria to elephants, whales and large trees.
(ii) Colour: The colour of various plants and animals are quite different. Some worms are even colourless or transparent.
(iii) Life span: Life span of different organisms also varies greatly, e.g., a mosquito lives only for a few days while a turtle can live for around 200 years. Some pine trees also live for thousands of years.
it allows efficient study of organisms.
Explanation:
If we were to classify organisms into groups based on their ancestry, characteristics, evolutionary traits, etc., we would have a much easier time studying them in detail. It's like sorting out your school assignments. You might want similar subjects grouped together, and so you can find everything much faster.
Same goes for biology. When there are millions of species of organisms, grouping them together can help study them a lot faster and easier.
