• Tech inn classification has improved over time
• Tech development in classification has improved understanding of genetics and biochemical processes
• We are able to determine base sequence due to tech advancement in classification
• Classification helps us understand the evolution of species
• Genetic engineering can be used to produce new drugs or modify crops
• Classification allows scientists to communicate about different species using common names
• Classification enables conservationists to identify endangered species and take action to protect them
