This misunderstanding is wrong because both have the same definition but different meanings.

Taxonomy is the science of determining and naming groups of organisms based on the same basic characteristics.

Morphology (biology), is the study of the form of organisms, especially animals and plants that include their parts.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

This difference is what makes both have a misunderstanding. Because taxonomy is not based on morphology. In fact, both have their respective basics. Taxonomies determine and give names based on the same basic characteristics. While the morphology of science that studies the shape of organisms (animals and plants).

Organisms are grouped into taxa (singular: taxon) and these groups are given taxonomic ranks; groups that are given a certain level can be combined to form a supergroup with a higher level, thus creating a taxonomic hierarchy.

The term "alpha taxonomy" is mainly used today to refer to the discipline of finding, describing, and naming taxa, specifically species. In the previous literature, the term has a different meaning, referring to morphological taxonomy, and research products until the end of the 19th century.

<span>Because if we only classify animals by morphology, many animals have the same describable traits and physical structures.
Genes helped taxonomy better classify and aggregate animals.


Molecular genetics is scientific study of composition of genes. This field is a subcategory of biology and heredity which is responsible for unearthing and delving the anatomy and physiology of the genes. </span>This field helps us to understand and find evidence in the compounds, substances and elements found and synthesized in our genes and what contains in our nucleic acides –RNA and DNA –framework of our chromosomes. <span>And also the origin and history of how genes came to be. These are codes and like-signals that makes us who we are in a macro-perspective.<span>

What is the mechanism of action for vancomycin
ss7ja [257]
Vancomycin. Mechanism of Action: Inhibits cell wall synthesis by binding to the D-Ala-D-Ala terminal of the growing peptide chain during cell wall synthesis, resulting in inhibition of the transpeptidase, which prevents further elongation and cross-linking of the peptidoglycan matrix (see glycopeptide pharm).
