1. In Linnacus's time, all living things were grouped into two kingdoms. Later, there were five ( point)
kingdoms, and now we have six kingdoms. What is the main reason for this increase in the
number of kingdoms?
Scientists have discovered organisms that were previously unknown, so new kingdoms had to be created for them.
Kingdom Plantae had to be split up into several kingdoms when scientists found that not all plants can photosynthesize.
As scientists learned more about genetics and biochemistry, some organisms were moved out of existing kingdoms and into new ones.
Since the time of Linnaeus, many new organisms have evolved, and most of them don't fit into the original kingdoms.

Answer:

As scientists learned more about genetics and biochemistry , some organisms were moved out of existing kingdoms and into new ones.

Explanation:

As the researches in the scientific world continued, scientists realized that there were, in fact, many genetic diversities present in organisms which were placed in the same groups. Hence, they realized that due to these differences these organisms should not be kept in the same group. As a result, the groups in the classification system increased.

Carolus Linnaeus just grouped organisms based on their features. But today, scientists classify organisms based on various perspectives such as the evolutionary history, genetic similarities etc.
