Question

The most objective of taxonomy is to?

Answer 1

Hint: The scientific study of naming, defining (circumscribing), and classifying groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics is known as taxonomy. Taxa (singular: taxon) are groups of organisms that are assigned a taxonomic rank; groups of a given rank can be aggregated to form a more inclusive group of higher rank, resulting in a taxonomic hierarchy.

Complete answer:
In modern botany, the main ranks are domain, kingdom, phylum (division is sometimes used instead of phylum), class, order, family, genus, and species. Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist, is widely regarded as the father of modern taxonomy, having developed a ranked system known as Linnaean taxonomy for categorizing organisms and binomial nomenclature for naming organisms.

The most objectives of taxonomy are:
i) Obtaining an appropriate specimen (collecting, preserving and, when necessary, making special preparations);
ii) Comparing the specimen with the known range of variation of living things;
iii) Correctly identifying the specimen if it's been described, or preparing an outline showing similarities to and differences from known forms, or, if the specimen is new, naming it consistent with internationally recognized codes of nomenclature.
iv) Determining the simplest position for the specimen in existing classifications and determining what revision the classification may require as a consequence of the new discovery
v)Using available evidence to suggest the course of the Specimens evolution.
vi) For example: of taxonomy is the way living beings are divided into Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, species. An example of taxonomy is the Dewey decimal numeration system - the way libraries classify non-fiction books by division and subdivisions.

Note: Taxonomy also decides the two-part, binomial name of genus-plus-species that scientists use to formally designate a selected organism (Homo sapiens for us, Clostridium difficile for one among our unwelcome bacterial guests).
