Question

True or false: Organisms can be reclassified into a new taxonomic group (taxa) when DNA analysis reveals they have more in common with that group of organisms.

Answer 1

True. Organisms can be reclassified into a new taxonomic group when DNA analysis or other molecular data reveal that they share a closer genetic relationship with members of that group than with other organisms. This can lead to revisions in the classification system to better reflect evolutionary relationships based on genetic evidence.
