Question

what do you know? the ways in which scientists classify organisms can vary. i might look at an organisms characteristics and you may choose to look at the dna evidence; however, good scientists will take all of the information into account before classifying. read the descriptions of the details taken from an organism in the chart below. write the method of classification in the right hand column. then use the second chart below to give an example of an organism these descriptions might have come from.

description	method of classification

dna

example organism

Explanation:

1. For "Organ systems are all present", the method of classification is anatomical characteristics. An example organism could be a human as it has well - developed organ systems.
2. For "Fur, large paws, long tail, and stripes that are black and orange", the method is external physical characteristics. A tiger fits this description.
3. For "Has pine needles and pine cones; grows in alpine forests", the method is plant morphological and habitat characteristics. A pine tree is an example.
4. For "DNA", the method is genetic classification. Any organism can be studied using DNA for classification, for example, a dog.
