What types of features are emphasized in a cladistic classification system? What is the resulting relationship of organisms that are classified in this manner?
Describe how organisms are classified in the taxonomic classification system. a. The taxonomic classification system uses a hierarchical model to organize living organisms. At each sublevel, the organisms are more similar. b. The taxonomic classification system uses a hierarchical model to organize living organisms. At each sublevel, the number of organisms increases. c. The categories in the taxonomic classification system are organized from smaller, more specific categories to larger categories. d. In the hierarchal model for the taxonomic classification system, from the point of origin, the groups become less specific.
