Answer 2

The science of taxonomy allows every scientist around the world the ability to identify every organism under one universally recognized name. Every organism known to man has been named according to the taxonomy system, which helps keeps order and allows each organism to be placed into different classes. Taxonomy uses the Latin language to identify and define each organism. This science helps relieve the barriers that language has on science. The general classes of the taxonomy system are Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species, but it doesn't stop there. There are many other classifications that each organism must go through before they can be defined into one name. These classes help define each organism into a certain group of species. This science also allows for proper accreditation to go to the founder of each organism. For example, if a certain species of fish was found in Eastern Asia that was previously found in Australia, scientists would be able to tell, by defining that fish's characteristics into each classification whether or not someone has already discovered that kind of fish before. If not, it is given a name according to the taxonomy system.
