Question

You classified organisms based on anatomical structure and development. Scientists also use DNA to classify organisms. Considering the basic process of evolution, why do you think it’s important to also consider DNA and gene patterns during the classification of organisms?

Answer 1

Answer:

By studying genetics and DNA, we can get the best idea of how species are related to each other, and therefore how to classify them. The genetic code of a species is not fixed, however. It changes over time! This is why we also need to factor in evolution.
