What is the modern taxonomy classification system based on?
Evolutionary relationships is the underlying basis. It was originally based upon morphology and other physical characteristics and was a two domain system. Modern scientists have altered the classification to three domains based upon modern science's ability to better define the genetic structures of living things. A new rDNA comparison analysis led to the development of the three domain system of classification. Taxonomy classification was first described in the Binomial Nomenclature System created by Linneaus, one of the world's premier taxonomists. Linnaeus based his classification system on specific traits. When classifying an organism, a considerable amount of information is recorded. The two main points Linnaeus used were the structural characteristics (skeleton, body segmenation) and behavioural patterns (abiotic and biotic factors). However, as stated above, nowadays it is based more on evolutionary relationships and not on morphology, etc.
