CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The current classification method relies upon many aspects when classifying an organism. Through the criteria set for the organisms’ classifications, every organism finds a place. This way, if any new discoveries are made such as the excavation of a new fossil, the organism is easily placed into the existing system.

Detailed explanation-2: -All modern classification systems have their roots in the Linnaean classification system. The Linnaean system is based on similarities in obvious physical traits. It consists of a hierarchy of taxa, from the kingdom to the species. Each species is given a unique two-word Latin name.

Detailed explanation-3: -The classification system commonly used today is based on the Linnean system and has eight levels of taxa; from the most general to the most specific, these are domain, kingdom, phylum (plural, phyla), class, order, family, genus (plural, genera), and species.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: It is important because the classification of organisms show the relationship between the organism and its contemporaries. It also shows evolutionary relationships between the organism and its ancestors. Organisms grouped in similar ranks show similarities amongst its members.

Detailed explanation-5: -The classification system provides great deal of information about the characteristics of organisms. Using scientific names can therefore act as a shorthand method for describing a plant or animal.
