No, physical similarities are not the only traits used to classify organisms. Classification is based on a combination of physical traits, genetic relatedness, and evolutionary history. Other characteristics like behavior, habitat, and biochemical composition can also be considered in the classification of organisms.

Two traits used to classify organisms into each domain are cell type (prokaryotic or eukaryotic) and cellular structure (presence or absence of a nucleus). These traits help differentiate between the three domains of life: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.

Why do some venomous snakes have venom and not others?
If they don't have venom, then they're not venomous snakes. If the question is why some snakes don't inject venom on particular bites despite being members of a venomous species... Some species can choose to release venom or not release venom. They may not inject venom on a "warning bite" and instead reserve it for hunting. Other species always inject venom ... if they have any. But they may have recently bitten something else and used up the venom supply, and the glands that produce it haven't had time to "recharge" the supply yet.
What traits are used to classify organisms?
Color, size, extremities, where they live, how they move Most of the determinations of how to classify were done by male scientists. Some female scientist did some other classification of some plants that were different from the typical male classification and that were very reasonable. So then there were two ways to classify. In one, these two are closest, but in the other those two are closest. Which shows us that classification of species is somewhat dependent on who does it. Don't ask my cat.
