Classification, molecular phylogeny and evaluating evidence

4.6 i) Understand that classification is a means of organising the variety of life based on relationships between organisms using differences and similarities in phenotypes and in genotypes, and is built around the species concept.

ii) Understand the process and importance of critical evaluation of new data by the scientific community, which leads to new taxonomic groupings, including the three domains of life based on molecular phylogeny, which are Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryota.
