How did Carl Linneaus's original classification system differ from today? (1 point)

Question

• He only had two kingdoms, animals and plants.
• He was a botanist, so he only classified plants.
• He did not consider how organisms may be related to one another.
• He did not classify all the way down to the species level.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: He only had two kingdoms, animals and plants.

Carl Linnaeus's original classification system included only two kingdoms: the animal kingdom and the plant kingdom. Today, the classification system is much more complex, recognizing multiple kingdoms and using a hierarchical structure that includes domains, kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species.
