Question

It has been decided by a group of scientific experts that lack of internal temperature regulation, presence of waterproof skin made of scales, and a waterproof egg are the three main characteristics that should be used to classify organisms as reptiles. this decision is most consistent with: classical taxonomy. punctuated equilibrium. cladistic taxonomy. natural selection.

Answer 1

I think it is consistent with the classical taxonomy. Classical taxonomy is where organisms were categorized first into larger, then more specific groups. The relationship between things and their ranking in this system was a combination of both morphology, the form and structure of organisms, and phylogeny, evolutionary history.
