Question

‘‘Evolution and classification of organisms are interlinked.’’ Give reasons to justify this statement.

✓

Answer

Different life forms have evolved during the course of evolution. Classification deals with the grouping of these life forms into groups and sub groups based on similarities and differences.
The more characteristics any two species have in common, more closely they are related.
Thus classification helps in tracing the evolutionary relationship between the two organisms. Hence, evolution and classification are interlinked.
