Taxonomic classification is important to marine biologists because it proves that marine evolution occurs.
00:09
We can discover and name every marine organism.
00:13
We can designate latin as the universal language of marine biology.
00:18
Or we can identify marine organisms and find relationships between them.
00:23
So the correct answer here is d.
00:26
The goal is to classify what we do find, make sure that there's this classification.
00:31
That everybody uses because you don't want people to be using different names for the same species.
00:38
So everyone uses the same name for the same species.
00:50
So that's very important in research.
00:53
You all need to know what you're talking about.
00:55
And it means that you can have this classification system where you can see roughly how closely related the organisms are.
01:04
So, for example, if you look at dolphins and other types of whale, you can see, oh, they are all mammals.
01:13
So even though they are aquatic, they're all mammals, so they're more closely related to each other than they are to the fish...
