Summary Introduction

To determine: Thephylogenetic analysis that can help identify patterns of disease transmission.

Introduction: The genetic differences between species can be evaluated in a very direct manner by examining the footprints of evolutionary path between different species. The genome projects allow tracing the human and other organisms’ evolutionary patterns.

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion  In thinking about the clinical application of phylogenetics, discuss the role of phylogenetics in these areas.   a) Predictions of drug resistance   b) Identifying the origin of an outbreak   c)Predicting the spread of a disease
Briefly discuss the different methods of taxonomic identification, namely: (1) expert determination, (2) recognition, (3) comparison, and (4) use of keys and similar devices.
The number of possible trees resulting from phylogenetic analysis grows exponentially with the number taxa, such that in a 22 taxon analysis there are more possible unrooted trees than there are stars in the universe.     A) True     B) False     C) It depends on the inference method and optimality criteria used.     D) Number of taxa and number of unrooted tree possibilities are unrelated in phylogenetic analysis.
