Two areas of study namely evolution' and classification' are interlinked. Justify the statement.
Evolution is a slow change in the body design and other characteristics of an organism over a long period of period that ultimately cause the formation of new speciation from pre-exiting species. Different forms of organisms/ life have evolved during the course of evolution.
Classification deals with grouping of these organisms into groups and subgroups based on their similarities and differences. The more characteristics any two species have in common more closely they are related/ will have a more recent ancestor and vice versa.Thus, classification helps tracing the evolutionary relationships between the two organisms hence classification and evolution are interlinked.
The activities of man had adverse effects on all forms of living organisms in the biosphere. Unlimited exploitation of nature by man disturbed the delicate ecological balance between the living and non-living components of the biosphere. The unfavourable conditions created by man himself threatened the survival not only of himself but also of the entire living organisms on the mother earth.
