Relate the classification of an organism to its phylogeny

Question

Please read the following page:

Thanks for the website Lance. However, i cant really find the answer to my question in there. can you help please?

a quote from that site:

"In the case of organisms, we can do much better than an arbitrary classification. Ideally, we wish to base our classification on the relationships of the organisms, that is, on their genealogy or phylogeny. This is uniquely useful because knowing that two organisms are closely related tells us that they will have many properties in common. Knowing historical relationships has more predictive potential (more applicability to properties that have not yet been measured) than does an arbitrary classification."

There is a lot more info on that site. Please read it carefully.
