Yes, classification system is still evolving together with our knowledge.

But, before changing the name (e.g. of a species) it is important to collect and gather a wealth of information in order to support that change. Classification system is still evolving. The reasons for the changes are DNA analyzes. It is the new way for discovering relation between organisms and put them in the right context (classification used to be based on morphological characteristics).

Change in classification can be shown in an example of fungi. In the 90s fungi classification included only phyla Chytridiomycota and Zygomycota. Now theyhave been classified mainly on the basis of characteristics of their sexual reproductive structures. So, there are 7 phyla now: Microsporidia, Chytridiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Neocallimastigomycota, Glomeromycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota

bonufazy [111]

The answer is; C & E

Building a dam alters the water regime down the dam. The dam also affects fish migration along the river, alters the transportation of sediments by the river downstream, and changes temperatures within the local environment of the dam. These changes, however, the subtle effect the ecosystem around the dam and down the river. The potential energy of the water held by the dam is, however, high and used to produce more electricity.

Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Montano1993 [528]

Prokaryotes are usually smaller than eukaryotes. They also don’t have a nucleus so DNA is in the cytoplasm. They also have no organelle membranes where as eukaryotes do. Domains of prokaryotes include Bacteria and Archaea, and all eukaryotes are in the domain Eukarya. Both can be free living, but only eukaryotes can be multicellular. Prokaryotes first appeared on earth about 3.5 billions then eukaryotes appeared about a billion years later. Etc....
