Diversity In Living Organisms
How hierarchy of classification be built?
Organisms are classified in big groups first on the basis of independent characteristics like the form and function of organism. The characteristic chosen in the next level would be dependent on the previous one and decides the variety of organisms in the next level. Thus, one can build up a whole hierarchy of mutually related characteristics to be used for classification.
