Description

Introduction explain: what is phylogenetics and why it is used and why it is important. Make sure to introduce why rbcL is important to plants, and life on earth in general. Why is it useful for DNA barcoding (what is DNA barcoding) and for making phylogenies of plants? Why are phylogenies useful? What kinds of questions can they be used to answer?

Discussion: statement of the purpose of study and hypothesis. Make sure to include some of the context from the introduction, remind us about our questions, then expand on the answers. Return to the broad biological context (Why do we care?)

Introduction
Phylogenetics is a study in biology that explains evolutionary history and forms of
relationships in individuals or species. The connections are then evaluated through DNA
sequence analysis or morphology, which are categorized under phylogenetic inference methods.
According to Lecointre and Le Guyader (2006), these methods are computational algorithms,
approaches, and programs that provide an analysis of observable heritable features in the
organisms being studied. The results are then tabled out in a phylogenetic tree, which provides
a diagrammatic hypothesis regarding the evolutionary relationship and history of the samples.
With that in mind, phylogenetics is used to establish the ancestry of pathogens, which is essential
since it influences the...
