Answer to Question 1

 Artificial classification systems are based on superficial appearances.
 Natural systems of classification are rooted in the characteristics of organisms and their evolutionary history. Organisms can be shifted as more information is learned about a species.
 We use a natural selection system of classification that was first developed by Linnaeus. It is a hierarchical system that has increasing smaller groupings of organisms as a species is categorized. There have been additional kingdoms added to Linnaeus' original three.
 Domains have been introduced to show the largest level organisms are connected to each other. They contain multiple kingdoms.
