EXERCISE 7 Use of Biometrics in Animal Taxonomy ANSWERS TO STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Discuss the conflict between the uses of molecular markers against morphological characters in the construction of phylogenetic trees. Molecular phylogenetics predates DNA sequencing by several decades. It is derived from the traditional method for classifying organisms according to their similarities and differences (morphological characters)‚ as first practiced in a comprehensive fashion by Linnaeus in the
