Which statement best explains why the classification schemes of taxonomists have changed over time? Some groups of organisms have unusual biochemistry. There are no guidelines as to how organisms may be classified. Improved technology increases the amount of information known about organisms. Newly discovered organisms are always being added to the lowest levels of classification systems.
