Main Topics:
Can you describe the core conserved processes among the three domains (Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya)?
Can you infer common ancestry among organisms based on shared characteristics?
Can you draw a cladogram or phylogenetic tree using organism traits or DNA/protein sequence similarities?
Can you determine relative relatedness between organisms as represented by a cladogram phylogenetic tree?
Step One: Read
Step Two: Watch
Step Three: Practice
