How much do you know about evolution and classification? Do you know what characteristic of the early autotrophs gave them an advantage over early heterotrophs? What best describes the process of evolution, based on their taxonomic classification, which two organisms share the same ancestor, and to what do autotroph and heterotroph refer. This quiz was designed for those who need to know more about evolution and classification. If you are the curious soul, do not hesitate and take the quiz.
