Question

Molecular taxonomy can be defined as the detection, description and differences in molecular diversity within and among taxa. The molecular taxonomy includes analyses of isozymes, molecular cytogenetics, immunology, dna-dna hybridization, restriction analyses or sequencing nuclear and mitochondrial dna sequences

Answer 1

Explanation:

Strain typing of medically important fungi and fungal population genetics have been stimulated by new methods of tapping DNA variation. The aim of this contribution is to show how awareness of fungal population genetics can increase the utility of strain typing to better serve the interests of medical mycology. Knowing two basic features of fungal population biology, the mode of reproduction and genetic differentiation or isolation, can give medical mycologists information about the intraspecific groups that are worth identifying and the number and type of markers that would be needed to do so.
