When the linnaean system of classification was first developed in the early 1700s, it only had two kingdoms for living things, the plant and animal kingdoms. three more kingdoms have been added since then, as well as a higher division of three domains. why are we still using this system if we have to keep changing the way it is organized?

The Linnaean system of classification is also known as the classical system of biological classification proposed by the Carolus Linnaeus. He categorised the organisms into two groups- the plants and animals on the basis of morphological characters.

But this system has evolved with time from two kingdoms to six kingdom system which is divided into Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi Animalia and Plantae with time due to the advancements in technology and understanding of nature into depth.

This shows that knowledge can be modified with time depending on the understanding of nature.

Carolus Linnaeus developed the classical system of classification in the eighteenth century that classified the organisms into animals and plants as done by Aristotle. After Linnaeus, the system of classification got modified into three kingdom classification given by Haeckel in 1866, then it was modified to four kingdom classification systems by Copeland in 1956.

After that, it got changed to the five-kingdom classification system by Whittaker and at present the six kingdom classification system is followed, which was given by Carl Woese in 1977. This six kingdom system is the modern classification system that aligns organisms into a larger group called domain.

This variation in the system of categorizing the organism suggests that the knowledge diversifies and flourishes with the time that can modify the understanding of nature like comprehending the living world. The progression in the knowledge has assisted in shaping the system of classification.

The accompanying figure shows the percent of selected dna sequences that match between a chimpanzee and other primates. these data support the hypothesis that the figure shows the percentage of selected d n a sequences that match between the chimpanzee and other primates. the human has an almost 98 percent match, the gorilla has an almost 97 percent match, the orangutan has a 96 percent match, the gibbon has an almost 95 percent match, and the old world monkey has an almost 92 percent match. the accompanying figure shows the percent of selected dna sequences that match between a chimpanzee and other primates. these data support the hypothesis that the figure shows the percentage of selected d n a sequences that match between the chimpanzee and other primates. the human has an almost 98 percent match, the gorilla has an almost 97 percent match, the orangutan has a 96 percent match, the gibbon has an almost 95 percent match, and the old world monkey has an almost 92 percent match. chimpanzees and gibbons are the most closely related the chimpanzee's closest surviving relative is humans orangutans are the primates least closely related to chimpanzees old world monkeys and gibbons are the most closely related

Transposon can cause mutations in genes at or near the site of transposon insertion. it is possible for these elements to transpose away from their original site, causing a reversion of the mutant phenotype. in some cases, however, even more severe phenotypes appear when these elements excise from this site, due to events at or near the mutant allele. what might be happening to the transposon or the nearby gene to create more severe mutations?
