Chapter 25, Problem 3TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: There are a number of taxons which categorize organisms based on their traits. The classification system was given by Carolus Linnaeus which differentiates the organisms based upon the characteristics they own. The factor of differentiation helps in the comparison between the newfound species of organism to the extinct species which had the same features.
