Write the significance of molecular taxonomy.

Explanation

1. It helps to identify a very large number of species of plants and animals by the use of conserved molecular sequences.
2. Using DNA data evolutionary patterns of biodiversity are now investigated.
3. DNA taxonomy plays a vital role in phytogeography, which ultimately helps m genome mapping and biodiversity conservation.
4. DNA based molecular markers used for designing DNA based molecular probes, have also been developed under the branch of molecular systematics.
