The Florida Panther was once considered to be a subspecies of cougars and given a special trinomial taxonomy of Puma concolor coryi. Current scientists however, have studied the Florida Panther and removed the subspieces classification to only Puma concolor. Which of the following would most likely explain why the classification of the Florida Panther changed. A) New genetic evidence suggests a much closer relationship between the Florida Panther and other cougars. B) Shared features between the Florida Panther and other cougars were also found in newly discovered organisms in the world. C) Advanced technologies have shown a large difference in cell structure between the Florida Panther and other cougars. D) Trinomial naming conventions are no longer used by longer used by scientists because only the genus and species are important in taxonomy.

Trinomial naming conventions are no longer used by longer used by scientists because only the genus and species are important in taxonomy.

Explanation:

Trinomial naming convention is the three naming system of organisms in which three names are given to the organisms i. e. genus, species and subspecies of the organism. This three naming system is removed because genus and species are important in naming system. This is an old method and the new scientist don't use it anymore for taxonomy of an organism.
