Question

How does Linnaen taxonomy differ from phylogeny cladistics when classifying organisms

Answer 1

Carolus Linnaeus, who is usually regarded as the founder of modern taxonomy and whose books are considered the beginning of modern botanical and zoological nomenclature, drew up rules for assigning names to plants and animals and was the first to use binomial nomenclature consistently (1758). Although he introduced the standard hierarchy of class, order, genus, and species, his main success in his own day was providing workable keys, making it possible to identify plants and animals from his books. For plants he made use of the hitherto neglected smaller parts of the flower.

Answer 2

Phylogeny refers to the development of a group, particularly through evolutionary lines.

Answer 3

Cladistics is a study in which groups (species, etc) are arranged on a phylogenetic tree according to the time at which they arose from other groups.
