<span>1.
</span>Yes. Dead organisms
are similar to non-living objects since do not take in nutrients/energy
to offset the process of entropy in thermodynamics that enables them to maintain an organized system. Additionally,
a dead organism stops to grow, does not reproduce and does not respond to stimuli similar
to a non-living
object.
<span>2.
</span>No. With the continuing
discovery of new species, the Linnease system is liable to continually change. Discovery of the evolutionary relationship between the discovered species and with already discovered species, enable the taxonomists
to rearrange the cladogram to best and rigorously understand the tree of life.
<span>3.
</span>No. Fact is that they are related. While they
may seem very different phenotypically, and even genetically, they share, at
some point up in the phylogenetic tree, a common ancestor. For, example, they
share the same Animalia kingdom and phylum Chordata.
