During the mid-eighteenth century, the naturalist Carolus Linnaeus developed a key that allowed others to distinguish types of organisms that he had previously identified. His early work ordering and identifying organisms is widely seen as providing the foundation for:
  1. The currently accepted approach to scientific research.
  2. An explanation of evolutionary processes.
  3. The modern system for classifying species.
  4. An understanding of the biology of inheritance.
Explanation
Correct Response: C. The taxonomy for classifying organisms that was created by Carolus Linnaeus became the foundation for modern biological nomenclature, the system used to classify all species. While Linnaeus was a scientist of some renown, he was not known for his contributions to current approaches to scientific research (A), to the study of evolution (B), nor to the biology of inheritance (D).
