The Baltimore system is used to classify

  • A.Viruses
  • B.Bacteria
  • C.Fungi
  • D.Protozoa

Answer: A

Correct answer: Viruses

The Baltimore system classifies viruses into seven groups by the nature of their genome - DNA or RNA, single or double stranded, and the sense of it - because that determines how each must produce its mRNA. David Baltimore devised it in 1971, and it cuts across the older classification by host and shape.
