Question

What are the three aspects of systematics?

Answer 1

Systematics:

1. Systematics comes from the word ‘Systema’ meaning the arrangement of organisms in a systematic manner.
2. The interrelation between evolution and organisms is explained by systematics.
3. It explains the ancestral connection between organisms and the relatedness between species.

The three aspects of systematics are as follows:

1. Nomenclature: This involves the naming of the organisms with respect to their genus and ancestral lineage.
2. Identification: This includes identifying the relationship between the organisms and their ancestors.
3. Classification: After the organisms have been named and their ancestral lineage has been identified, they are classified under their respective systemic taxonomic position.
