These quizzes will also help us to understand and study the features, similarities and differences between different living organisms and how they are grouped under different categories.
Variation
Variation is simply any difference between cells, or individual organisms, or groups of organisms of any species caused either by genetic differences (genotypic variation) or by environmental factors on the expression of the genetic potentials (phenotypic variation).
-Genotypic variation: This is the genetic composition of an organism
-Phenotypic variation: This is the outward appearance or looks of an organism.
Classification
Classification is the process of putting things in a particular criteria or categorizing things based on certain properties. Organisms are usually grouped together when they have common features between them. The classification of living things usually have to includes these seven levels which are, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
Scientists classify living things in order to especially organize and make sense of the incredible diversity of life. Now modern scientists based their classifications mainly on molecular similarities. They now group together organisms that have similar proteins and DNA in the same group
