for the 3 domain classification i mentioned how its used bc the other classification system was out of date and bc of changes in tech??? idk if thats even right i totes spaced. also for dna i only mentioned double helix, complementary pairs, and sugar phosphate group and also for the method i just yapped ab ‘to see subcellular structure’ mostly for the reasons why. still talked ab ethanol + salt but didnt give reasons why. how much wld i get for the 6 marker do u guys think?

prolly 4-6 because those 6 marker mark schemes have a million points that offer you ways to get marks.

you have to talk about it changed due to genetic analysis and dna and rna sequences because of improved microscopes so u should get full marks
