Question

Can we use recent molecular tools to identify and classify organisms?

Answer 1

Yes, we can classify organisms on the basis of recent molecular tools. For example on the basis of types of metabolites found in the organism, different categories can be made. Also on the basis of gene sequences, various classifications can be done. The same can be done on the basis of Genes found in the organism. The scientists are also developing new ways to classify organisms in a more systematic way with help of recent molecular tools.
