Learning Goal: I’m working on a public health discussion question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
Traditionally, living things have been classified mainly by their morphology (appearance). Now some scientists are simply using DNA to classify species. There is ongoing debate amongst scientists about the best technique to accurately group related species together. Sometimes these two techniques can give very different results. Research this topic, and then post your solution to the question.
Should species be classified predominantly using morphology, or DNA?
