52. Final Jeopardy
What is the purpose of classifying living things? How do scientists benefit from it?

53. Final Jeopardy Answer
Classification allows scientists to easily identify and compare new organisms based on their characteristics. Once identified we can quickly learn about the organisms characteristics based on the other organisms in the same group.
Benefits – quick reference, quick knowledge from association
