Although ribosomal RNA has been useful in identifying the three domains, ribosomal RNA gene sequences have not been sufficient to develop accurate eukaryotic phylogenies.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ribosomal RNA gene sequences have been crucial in identifying the three domains of life (Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya) and in understanding broad relationships among them. However, for eukaryotic phylogenies, which involve more complex evolutionary histories and rapid diversification events, ribosomal RNA sequences alone often do not provide enough resolution or accuracy. Additional genomic data and other molecular markers are typically needed to develop more accurate and detailed eukaryotic phylogenies.
