(83) (2) Anatomy is the study of internal structure which can be observed with unaided eye after dissection. By studying anatomy of large number of organisms, it is useful for knowing phylogenetic similarity (homology) and phylogenetic dissimilarity (analogy).
(84) (3) Taxonomy is the science of identification, nomenclature and classification of organisms. But taxonomy and systematics are different terms. Systematics is the branch of biology that deals with diversity of organisms at every level of classification.
(85) (2) All new species develop from the pre-existing species. The phenomenon of development of a new species from pre-existing one is called speciation, A species is a collections of demes.
The deme is a groups of populations with a common gene pool.
