Question

1. what is the main aim of the study of systematics?

a. to calculate how many organisms there are on earth
b. to understand the evolutionary relationship of biological organisms
c. to create a naming system for biological organisms
d. none of the above

1. what do you call the system that categorizes organisms by using a naming system that includes the genus and species?

a. dichotomous tree
b. phylogeny
c. cladistics
d. binomial nomenclature

Explanation:

Question 2

Systematics in biology focuses on studying the evolutionary relationships among organisms. Option A is incorrect as systematics isn't about counting organisms. Option C is about taxonomy (naming), while systematics is broader, focusing on evolutionary relationships. So the correct answer is B.

Binomial nomenclature is the system of naming organisms with a two - part name (genus and species). A dichotomous tree is for identification, phylogeny is about evolutionary history, and cladistics is a method of classification. So the correct answer is D.

Answer:

B. To understand the evolutionary relationship of biological organisms
