Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the MOST important reason that scientists classify living things?
A
It allows scientists to count groups of organisms quickly.
B
It makes it easier for scientists to capture organisms in the wild.
C
It helps scientists see how organisms are alike or different.
D
It shows scientists why organisms act the way they do.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Classification of organisms helps scientists to study them and undertake research on them. Classification also helps us in understanding each individual organisms and their differences and similarities with other organisms and it also helps us to understand the evolutionary process in a better way.

Detailed explanation-2: -Scientists use taxonomy for organism classification to improve the understanding of the evolutionary relationship between different organisms. By grouping organisms that are similar on an evolutionary level, we can have basic knowledge about a group of organisms that can help when studying the organism later.

Detailed explanation-3: -Scientists classify organisms according to their evolutionary histories and how related they are to one another-by looking at their physical features, the fossil record, and DNA sequences. All life can be classified into three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.

Detailed explanation-4: -This grouping system makes it easier for scientists to study certain groups of organisms. Characteristics such as appearance, reproduction, mobility, and functionality are just a few ways in which living organisms are grouped together.

Detailed explanation-5: -Classifying organisms helps to understand the relationship, similarities, and differences between the individual type of organisms. It simplifies the understanding of their characteristics.
