Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why do scientists sort out all organisms into groups according to the similarities between them?
A
Scientists sort organisms for the purpose of classification.
B
Scientists sort organisms for the purpose of naming.
C
Scientists sort organisms and call it dividing.
D
Scientists do not need to sort organisms into similar groups.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Organisms with similar characteristics are grouped within these broad kingdoms. Organisms are usually grouped together based on their unique characteristics. The classification of an organism often provides useful information about its evolutionary history and which other organisms are related to it.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Scientists use classification systems in order to identify objects in the natural world and to place them into groups of similar objects. One of the most common and useful classification systems is the taxonomic nomenclature used by biologists to classify living things.

Detailed explanation-5: -Modern scientists base their classifications mainly on molecular similarities. They group together organisms that have similar proteins and DNA. Molecular similarities show that organisms are related. In other words, they are descendants of a common ancestor in the past.
