Question

Difference between classical taxonomy and molecular taxonomy

Answer 1

The difference between classical taxonomy and molecular taxonomy is   as follows:

• Taxonomy is the scientific term for animal classification.
• Traditional taxonomy focuses on species classification, with species serving as the basic unit.
• Organisms are classified using terms such as domains, kingdoms, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
• The creature is classified using morphology and phylogeny. Molecular taxonomy is a branch of biology that studies the presence of chemicals in human bodies.
• It's a method for recognizing and classifying specimens fast and reliably based on interspecific differences.
• Finding genetic relationships between humans from different taxonomic groupings can be done using molecular technologies.
• Different species and their genetic links are studied using immunological techniques, DNA and protein sequencing, and DNA-DNA or DNA-RNA hybridization procedures.
