Explores classification in biology as well as taxonomy hierarchy: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species with The Amoeba Sisters! This video also discusses the importance of scientific names and why classification can have major changes due to DNA and cell structure evidence.

Binomial Nomenclature P.S. When we went back through subtitles, we realized we have a mispronunciation. Oh Archaea. We've heard ar-KEE-ə. We've heard ar-KAY-ə. But there's a mispronunciation here for that domain just to let you know.
