Answer 1

Taxonomy is an important tool in understanding the biodiversity as it provides the basic framework , and proper organisations if one wish to understand this huge topic.

The advancements in genomics , the unraveling of genome of various organiam not only humans has made previously unresolved question in genetics much more accessible.Now it is much more simpler to extract out DNA of any species and its sequencung can be easily done.DNA based taxonomy has provide unexpected insights in the relation between Mammmals and birds and also between duck biled platypus (egg laying mammal)is far more closely associated with the marsupials , this has made a close look with in the genome of these two organism and their genomic study could easily be done in future.
