Why is the description of synapomorphies important in the work of systematics?
The description of synapomorphies (A derived trait shared by two or more species that is believed to reflect their shared ancestry) is important in the work of systematics (taxonomy) because then the systematists can know how the two or more species is related.
Aristotle's classification method is widely used today?
false
Which of the following methods of classification is NOT used in systematics?
Numerical taxonomy is NOT used in systematics. Systematics typically relies on methods such as phenetics, cladistics, and molecular phylogenetics to classify organisms based on their evolutionary relationships. Numerical taxonomy involves the use of quantitative data to classify organisms based on overall similarity without necessarily considering evolutionary relationships.
What are the progressively broader categories of classification used in systematics in order?
The progressively broader categories of classification used in systematics are species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, and domain. These categories help organize and classify organisms based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships.
What data is used in systematics that stresses both common ancestry and the amount of change observed among groups?
The data that is used in systematics that stresses both the common ancestry and the amount of change that is observed among groups is cladistic. Cladistic is the classification in which items are grouped together.
What do you call the study of putting plants and animals into groups?
There are a few terms used; taxonomy, systematics, cladistics, (biological) classification and phylogenetics. Taxonomy is the broadest term.
What method would you use to divide organisms into groupsor classes based on specific characteristics?
Classification.

What is difference between systematics & taxonomy?
Systematics: 1. Does not change with change in theory. 2. It deals with classification and evolutionary history. It remains same with time . Taxonomy: 1. It changes with change in theory. It deals with classification of oraganisms only,yet not evolutionary history. It doesn't remain same with time.

How are taxonomy and systematic related?
Taxonomy is abranch of biology that deals with classification and naming of organisms while Systematics deals with classification as well as traces there evolutionary history and evolutionary relationship.
