Full Description

This examination explores molecular insights derived from fossilized plants to uncover phylogenetic relationships. Discussions will involve methodologies for extracting molecular data from fossils.

Molecular analysis of fossils significantly enhances our understanding of plant evolution and phylogenetics. This area of study informs broader discussions on genetic diversity and ecosystem resilience.

Students will be evaluated on their ability to articulate the processes involved in molecular extraction and analysis, as well as the implications of these findings for phylogenetic studies.

Preparation should involve a review of genetic analysis techniques and their application to fossilized specimens in paleobotanical research.
