Why are bones studied when trying to determine the origins of birds?
It depends on what they are studying. As far as age goes, carbon content, or carbon dating. Scientists can measure the carbon content in a birds bones and come to there conclusion of how long ago it lived. They also could be looking at it for comparative reasons, such as, a bird in Asia's bone density would be different than a similar species in North America:-)

How do the characteristics determine the biological classification of different organisms?
The characteristics of an organism, such as its physical features, genetic makeup, and behavior, are used to determine its biological classification. Organisms with similar characteristics are grouped together into categories like genus and species based on their shared evolutionary history and degree of relatedness. This classification system helps scientists organize and study the vast diversity of life on Earth.
Most of what scientific know about extinct species is based on?
