\'Evolution and classification are interlinked\'. Justify. |
|
Answer» Evolution is a slow change in the body design and other characteristics of an organism over a long period of period that ultimately cause the formation of new speciation from pre-exiting species. Different forms of organisms/ life have evolved during the course of evolution.Classification deals with grouping of these organisms into groups and subgroups based on their similarities and differences. The more characteristics any two species have in common more closely they are related/ will have a more recent ancestor and vice versa.Thus, classification helps tracing the evolutionary relationships between the two organisms hence classification and evolution are interlinked.

Different forms of organisms/ life have evolved during the course of evolution. Evolution and classification are interlinked with each other in the following ways:1.classification is most important term to explain evolution2.classification is based on similarities and differences between 2 species or among 2 organisms3.the more characteristics 2 species will have in common, the more closely they are related,and the more closely they are related ,the more recently they will have had common ancestor.4.for example:a brother and sister are closely related. They will have common ancestor in first generation before them,their parents5. A girl and her cousin are also related but less than the girl and her brother. This is because cousins have common ancestors their grandparents in second generation before them,not in the first oneSo,we can say that classification of species is in fact a reflection of their evolutionary relationship |
