Reflect on whether you think classifying organisms based only on physical
appearance is useful or may have limitations.
Classifying organisms by morphological aspects and criteria might seem like a brilliant idea,
but after going through all the organisms, there will be confusion waiting for us. The first
disadvantage, or to some extent, limitation, of using this technique is that there should be a
number of groups of species, which will lead to confusion. On the other hand, another
limitation that morphological classification can have is that some species can be so similar
that if we only classified them phenotypically, we might not distinguish between them.
Do you think maintaining biodiversity should be an important goal for people? Why or
why not?
Biodivsirty is a crucial factor scientifically, and human beings should preserve their
biological environment as much as possible to avoid the extinction of spices from our
environment. By preserving our biodiversity, scientists will be able to conduct studies on the
specific genes and DNA of scarce species, and by achieving that information, the knowledge
of humans about the world can increase significantly.
