The modern taxonomists classified organisms on the general basis of evolutionary, morphological, and genetic traits
Explanation:
Evolutionary relationships provides the phylogeny of evolutionary ancestors and descendants
Homologous structures are structures which look the same but perform different functions
, like bones of a human leg compared to bones on a bird's wing
Analogous structures have different structure but same function like an insect’s and a bird’s wing
Embryo developmental pattern and similar relationships
Similarities in DNA and protein sequencing in related organisms
The above basis provided modern taxonomists to classify organisms according to the various disciplines like Genetics, Cytology, Embryology, Physiology, Anatomy and many more.
