                                          What do you think is a more basic characteristic for classifying organisms? (i) The place where they live. (ii) The kind of cells they are made of. Why?

Answer:

                  The more basic characteristic for classifying organisms is the kind of cells they are made of. It is because many different types of organisms may live in a place and may not have any similarity except for a common habitat. On the other hand, the kind of cells they possess will tell various things about them? whether they are eukaryotes or prokaryotes, whether they have the ability of making a multi cellular organism, etc.
