Scientists use a standardized taxonomic system to separate organisms into hierarchical groups based on

similarities and differences in their structural and genetic characteristics

Which of the following best explains why a standardized classification system is important to the scientific

community?

It provides a detailed evolutionary history of all the known organisms on Earth

It allows different kinds of organisms to be easily identified based on their characteristics

It allows scientists to group organisms based on their personal preference

It prevents people who are not scientists from studying and identifying organisms.

Explanation:

Classification is defined as the grouping of organisms based on their similarities and dissimilarities. The main aim of classification is to simplify the study of vast range of animals that exist in nature.

The scientists use a standardized method in which they follow a set of rules while studying and assigning a taxonomic rank to a newly studied organism.

The taxonomic hierarchy includes the following taxon-Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Beginning from Kingdom the percentage of similarities among the members keep on increasing while we move towards species.

A taxonomical rank is assigned to an organism by studying the similarities of that organism with already existing members of that taxonomic group.

Since, few characters are already studied well while classifying the earlier members the study and classification of new organism becomes much simplified and easier.
