Question
Which do you think is a more basic
characteristic for classifying
organisms?
(a) the place where they live.
(b) the kind of cells they are
made of. Why?
Solution
The characteristic of the kind of cells they are made of - is a more basic characteric of classification as habitat or the place where the organisms can live will involve very different groups staying in a similar habitat. Thus, habitat cannot be basic characteristic for the classification of organism into groups. However, the type of cell will give a better lassification.
