Question : Can we use recent molecular tools to identify and classify organisms?

Answer»

Solution :The RECENT molecular taxonomical tools can be used to identify and classify the organism.
The following molecular techniques and approaches are used in molecular tools.
(a) DNA bar coding- Short genetic marker in an organism's DNA to identify whether it belongs to a particular species.
(b) DNA hybridization - Measures the degree of genetic similarity between pools of DNA sequences.
(c ) DNA finger printing- to identify an individual from a sample of DNA by looking at unique patterns in their DNA.
(d) Restriction FRAGMENT Length Polymorphism (RFLP) Analysis- difference in homologous DNA sequences can be detected by the presence of fragments of different LENGTHS after DIGESTION of DNA samples.
(e ) Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequencing- to amplify a specific GENE, or portion of gene.
