Classification Flashcards
What was used to classify organisms before molecular biology
morphology
What is the qualities of a genetic material that is used to classify all organisms
- it must be present in all organisms
- the gene has to be relatively long
- accumulates mutation slowly
one of the first researchers to build phylogenetic trees
Carl Woese
What cell component is common to all life and is used to molecularly categorize organisms
Ribosome
What translated the RNA protein
Ribosome
What is the ribosome built of
Ribosomal RNA
