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.

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
