Answer:

Based on similar appearance - traditional

Based on evolutionary relationships-  modern

Known as cladistics- modern

Known as Linnaean classification- traditional

Explanation:

Linnaeus was a Swedish Botanist who was the first to classify organisms based on the structural similarities which organisms had. This method of classification came to be known as the Linnaean classification. Organisms which had more closer resemblances in structures and features had more groups or taxa in common.

The modern system of classification depends on the evolutionary history of organisms. It determines which organisms are more closely and have common ancestors in the past.

26. As you study two closely related predatory insect species, the two-spot and the three-spot avenger beetles, you notice that
Alina [70]

Answer:

D) resource partitioning.

Explanation:

Resource partitioning explains how species that are similar (in this case the two-spot and the three-spot avenger beetles) use their resources together (coexist). They live in the same community and use the same resources, but they don't push one another to extinction through competition. They use the same limiting resource at different  time and thus, compete less with one another.
