why is binomial classification important?
because it clearly identifies species, study and conserve species, target conservation efforts.

What is the name of the single celled organism that is difficult to classify and why?

Variety within a species, hybridisation, ring species.
23 of 25
what is hybridisation?
closely related species breed to produce offspring that have characteristics of both – the hybrids are often infertile
