Answer 2

1. The purpose of classification is to organize the diversity of life, name organisms, and group them based on physical characteristics. Therefore, the best description is "all of the above."2. Classification is important in biology because it helps in studying the vast diversity of life, facilitates communication among scientists globally, and aids in predicting characteristics of organisms. Thus, the correct answer is "all of the above."3. Carl Linnaeus is known as the "father of taxonomy."4. The hierarchical structure of Linnaeus's classification system is "Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species."5. The most specific level in Linnaeus's classification system is "Species."6. Morphology in classification refers to the study of physical characteristics.7. Genetics contributes to the classification of organisms by studying DNA similarities and differences.8. Taxonomic keys are used for identifying organisms based on physical characteristics.9. "Group" is not a level in Linnaeus's classification system.
