Classification of living organisms
Question
- A. Correct cause and effect: Evolution is a biological process; classification is a human system for organising organisms. This matches Classification of living organisms because students must recall Linnaeus's classification hierarchy of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.
- B. Reversed cause: Treating classification as the process that causes species to change. This would blur Evolution vs classification instead of testing Classification of living organisms.
- C. Missing link: Using evolutionary trees as if they are direct mechanisms of evolution. This misses the objective focus on recall Linnaeus's classification hierarchy of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.
- D. Different process: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Classification of living organisms / Classification of living organisms.
Answer
The correct option is Correct cause and effect: Evolution is a biological process; classification is a human system for organising organisms. This matches Classification of living organisms because students must recall Linnaeus's classification hierarchy of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.. It is the only option that keeps Evolution vs classification separate and answers the approved learning objective in Classification of living organisms.
Explanation
The correct option is Correct cause and effect: Evolution is a biological process; classification is a human system for organising organisms. This matches Classification of living organisms because students must recall Linnaeus's classification hierarchy of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.. Correct cause and effect: Evolution is a biological process; classification is a human system for organising organisms. This matches Classification of living organisms because students must recall Linnaeus's classification hierarchy of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. is correct because Evolution is a biological process; classification is a human system for organising organisms. The learning objective says students must recall Linnaeus's classification hierarchy of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species, so the answer must stay inside Classification of living organisms. The alternative options are wrong because they either treating classification as the process that causes species to change., using evolutionary trees as if they are direct mechanisms of evolution., or drift away from evolution questions must test change, common ancestry, speciation, or evidence for change over time..
