04: Animal Kingdom
- #1What are the difficulties that you would face in classification of animals, if common fundamental features are not taken into account?
Ans : For the classification of living organisms, common fundamental characteristics are considered.
If we consider specific characteristics, then each organism will be placed in a separate group and the entire objective of classification would not be achieved.
Classification of animals is also important in comparing different organisms and judging their individual evolutionary significance. If only a single characteristic is considered, then this objective would not be achieved.
