Using technology, scientists are now able to use genetic information to classify new species. what is the likely impact of this advancement on the classification system? the existing classification system may change to accommodate the new information. the existing classification system will be replaced completely. organisms would be classified based only on their mode of nutrition. organisms would be classified based only on physical characteristics.

The answer is not Organisms would be classified based only on physical characteristics!!

I strongly feel that it would be

--the existing classification system may change to accommodate the new information.--

I hope i could help! Let me know if this is incorrect. ~ Ninja Cat :D

metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture (distinct arrangement of minerals) in pre-existing rocks (protoliths), without the protolith melting into liquid magma (a solid-state change). the change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids. i hoped i !
