SENIOR ONE BIOLOGY CLASSIFICATION OF LIVING THINGS Classification is the grouping of organisms basing on the their similarities and differences. It should probably have come to your notice already that living things are many. Now if you take a coser look at living things in your immediate vicinity you will establish that they of many different types too. That is, they vary. With these observations in mind biologists have come up to the science of classification whose major aim is to enable any biologists to use similarities and differences in organisms to quickly identify them and be able to group them together with the others with which they resemble. Classification also involes the naming of organisms (also called nomenclature) by assigning them particular names so That identification can be done with exactness. The science that deals with classification of organisms and their naming is called Taxonomy. IMPORTANCE OF CLASSIFICATION Let us look at why there is need to group and name ...
