Final Jeopardy
What is the purpose of
classifying living things?
How do scientists benefit
from it?

Final Jeopardy Answer

Classification allows scientists to

easily identify and compare new
organisms based on their
characteristics. Once identified we
can quickly learn about the
organisms characteristics based on
the other organisms in the same
group.
Benefits quick reference, quick
knowledge from association
