scientific names will continue to be revised. -R. Aidan Martin, What does this quotation suggest about how a classification system needs to function to support modern science?
A) It needs to provide a strictly limited system to reduce confusion and disarray.


B) It must be flexible enough to adapt to new discoveries and still provide a meaningful framework.


C) It needs to loosely group similar organisms until all organisms are fully studied.


D) It must have enough categories to accommodate all future discoveries while retaining its original structure.

Answer:

Option B, It must be flexible enough to adapt to new discoveries and still provide a meaningful framework.

Explanation:

A taxonomic classification classifies an organism at species level based on their anatomical and morphological characteristics. So some times the characteristics of two or more organisms are found overlapping and therefore they all are placed in one species group but it was revealed at a later stage of research that these organism belong to a different class or group . In such scenarios a taxonomic classification system must be able to adopt such changes without disrupting the entire classification system.  

Also there must be scope of including organisms in the taxonomic classification that shall be discovered in future.  

hence, option B is correct

When DNA is not accurately replicated, it could lead to formation of an entirely new protein different from the original which has a different function this could lead to a form of disorder in the offspring. The effect of this disorder depends on it severity.

The intensity of light had greater impact on the rate of photosynthesis. It was observed that the jar in which the intensity of light was high, large amount of oxygen was produced as compared to the jar in which the intensity of light was low.  

In the process of photosynthesis, oxygen is produced from the carbon dioxide. As the oxygen in the jar increases, the leaf disk rises with in the jar which also signifies the higher oxygen production with higher rate of photosynthesis in presence of high intensity of light.
