1. CLASSIFICATION

2. In an attempt to understand living things, scientists arrange organisms into groups. Organisms that are biologically similar are grouped together and those that are different are placed in a different group.

3. Initially, organisms were grouped based
on physical similarities.
Today, organisms are grouped based on
evolutionary relationships/genetic makeup/DNA.
