What similarities and differences could you look at when you classify organisms?

Organisms are classified by their: * physical structure (how they look) * evolutionary relationships * embryonic similarities (embryos) * genetic similarities (DNA) * biochemical similarities

How do biologist classify organisms?

What evidence can be used to show that organisms share a common ancestor?

The DNA genetic code provides the best evidence of the common ancestry of life. Science has shown that there are many similarities between DNA sequences.

Why do scientists study proteins to find evidence for evolution?

Proteins reflect DNA sequences, so scientists study proteins to look for genetic similarities and differences in organisms.

How can you use classification to tell how closely organisms are related?

Scientists mainly compare similarities and differences in what the organisms look like. With the less obvious relations, they analyze their DNA. The goal is to find a common ancestor between the two organisms. The more recently that ancestor existed, the more closely related the organisms are.


Is classification the arrangement of organisms into orderly groups based on their similarities?

Organisms are classified based on their various similarities, and also based upon their relationship to other organisms.
