I always figured that classifying different species of animals, including fish, was done visually and behaviorally to a lesser extent. While it may seem obvious to some, I never considered using DNA barcodes to classify different species. However, I do not think this is really an effective method. How would this test account for genetic variation from individual to individual and distinguish these differences from a different species? Perhaps these are questions are answered and accounted for in the test, but its worth thinking about considering how much variation there is among humans.Matt Mershonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509414335768273760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360356351594869925.post-34446876766193848232019-04-15T11:44:01.110-04:002019-04-15T11:44:01.110-04:00I find this interesting because people are always ...I find this interesting because people are always mentioning how so much of our oceans have yet to be discovered, studied, etc. However, even the parts that have been researched remain not fully understood. With the advances of present day, places/species/etc. should be reanalyzed and researched further because it is possible that more knowledge is able to be acquired now in comparison to before. The ocean is a place of mystery. Such creatures/plants that are under-researched or undiscovered within the ocean could provide beneficial information to aid in the life quality of mankind or the understanding of these such samples could help us to better their life quality. laurelcassinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278658256241373622noreply@blogger.com
