What is molecular phylogeny?
(N/A) Molecular phylogeny is an approach based on the principle that organisms which are more distantly related will accumulate a greater number of differences in their $DNA$ sequences over time. By comparing these genetic differences,scientists can trace the evolutionary relationships among different organisms,which provides a scientific basis for their classification and understanding of evolutionary history.
