Lesson 2.4 Genotypic Classification Flashcards
1
Q
Advantages of genotypic classification over phenotypic methods
A
- greater accuracy: organisms with similar appearance or behavior
-objectivity: objective since it relies of DNA sequences than subjective observations
-Universality: universal genetic material used
2

A
16S rRNA gene sequencing
3
Q
This technique measure the degree of similarity between DNA of two organisms
A
DNA-DNA hybridization
4
Q
Uses the entire genome of an organism
A
Whole genome sequencing
