Dr Alex Lathbridge guides you through the most important GCSE Biology facts, with a few jokes thrown in too. In this seventh episode of our series all about Inheritance, variation, and evolution, Dr Alex Lathbridge breaks down how organisms are classified. There are three different classification systems: the Linnean System, the Three-Domain System and the Binomial System. Dr Alex also looks at evolutionary trees, which use DNA to show how organisms are related genetically.
