Question

How do taxonomists classify species?

Answer 1

Taxonomists classify species in the following ways:

1. For classifying species and naming them, taxonomists use binomial nomenclature, a modernized adaption of Linnaean taxonomy.
2. The field of study known as taxonomy focuses on the identification, categorization, and/or grouping of organisms.
3. Taxonomists identify, describe, and classify species using morphological, behavioral, genetic, and biochemical observations.
4. The same species of creatures can interbreed with one another. The same genus may belong to many creatures, but two species can never be identical.
5. Organisms are categorized by taxonomists in a way that takes into account their biological lineage.
