Ability to multiply.
All living organisms must have or made up of cells.
The underlying basis of taxonomic groupings of organisms is the similarities of their anatomical, behavioral, cellular, and biochemical characteristics. Ideally, taxonomic groupings reflect shared ancestry.
Cellular activities such as aqueous absorption of raw materials are shared by all living organisms. They are created, grow, reproduce, die, and are consumed or decompose. Other than that, there are no common characteristics between bacteria, complex plants, and higher animals.
All living organisms are classified into groups based on very basic, shared characteristics
Ability to multiply.
respiration and reproduction
cladograms
They make their own energy.
shared characteristics were considered
The seven level system
Present-day taxonomists attempt to group organisms according to their evolutionary relationships, genetic similarities, and shared characteristics. This helps to organize and classify living organisms into hierarchical categories based on their shared ancestry and unique characteristics.

capture oxygen and send it through the body, and organisms use them
cladistics is based on the shared characteristics between organisms and their network of evolutionary relationships
Kingdom: Broadest level of classification, grouping organisms based on fundamental similarities. Phylum: Groups organisms with common characteristics beyond those shared by all eukaryotes. Class: Further divides organisms within a phylum based on more specific characteristics. Order: Groups similar families of organisms with shared characteristics. Family: Includes related genera that share common characteristics. Genus: Groups species that are closely related and share a common ancestor. Species: Most specific level, comprising individuals that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
Taxonomy- branch of biology that groups and names organisms based on studies of their shared characteristics; biologists who study taxonomy are called taxonomists.
