What is the primary purpose of using 'nested groups' in the classification of organisms?
- To randomly assign organisms into groups for study purposes.
- To obscure the evolutionary relationships between species.
- To reflect the relatedness of species by organizing them into increasingly specific groups. (correct)

Study Notes
Taxonomy
- Taxonomy is a way to mark the relatedness of organisms by putting them into small groups, then putting several small groups together in a larger group; these are called nested groups.
- Cities, counties, and states are an example of nested groups.
- The most common set of nested groups is called taxonomy.
- The largest of these groups is the Domain.
- Beneath each Domain are Kingdoms.
- In each Kingdom there are many Phyla.
- Each Phylum contains many Classes.
- This extends all the way down to each Genus containing many Species.
- During an exercise, the taxonomy of different common animals will be researched focusing on Kingdom, Phylum, and Class.
