Understanding the UPGMA Method of Classification: An Activity for the Undergraduate Life Sciences Classroom: Part 2
摘要
This part of the article includes an activity involving a set of molluscan shells from different families, where a comparison of their features is conducted to generate a distance matrix. Further, this distance matrix is used to generate a dendrogram. This activity can be used as is or in a modified format to teach the UPGMA method of generating classification trees in the undergraduate curriculum.
