Linnaean taxonomy classifies organisms into domains based on complexity, while Woese's classification sorts organisms into kingdoms based on method of obtaining nutrients.
Linnaean taxonomy classifies organisms into realms based on geographic location, while Woese's classification sorts organisms into domains based on method of reproduction.
Linnaean taxonomy classifies organisms into taxa based on size, while Woese's classification sorts organisms into kingdoms based on physical traits.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - Linnaean taxonomy classifies organisms into kingdoms based on physical traits, while Woese's classification sorts organisms into domains based on genetic differences.

Explanation:

Linnaean classification is set up by Carl Linnaeus which is used to divide and organized organisms into different groups according to some similar basic features such as physical traits. It was the most basic type of classification.

The classification of Carl Woese was based on the different genetic differences to categorize or group organisms. This was a three-domain system that includes Bacteria, archaea, and eukarya.
