Question

How is systematics relevant to other branches of biology?

Answer 1

Systematics is the branch of biology that deals with the classification and nomenclature of organisms depending on the diversity of organisms and all their comparative and evolutionary relationships. It is based on anatomy, ecology, physiology, genetics and biochemistry. It basically orders the organisms into groups and taxonomy. The classification is based on the knowledge about the organisms, that is their form and structure (morphology), cell (cytology), the development process (embryology), the remnant of the past organisms (fossils) and ecological relationships. Hence, systematics is relevant to other branches of biology.
