question 9 of 10
when is cladistics more useful than linnaean taxonomy?
a. when you want to compare physical traits
b. when you are analyzing dna of organisms
c. when you want to find organisms that look similar
d. when you want to find the species name for an organism

Explanation:

Cladistics focuses on evolutionary relationships using genetic data (like DNA). Linnaean taxonomy is more about physical traits and naming. Analyzing DNA (genetic info) is where cladistics shines as it uses genetic similarities/differences for classification, unlike Linnaean which may rely more on physical appearance. So when dealing with DNA analysis (genetic - based classification aspect), cladistics is more useful.

Answer:

C. When you are analyzing DNA of organisms
