Welcome to today’s activity! In this worksheet, you will explore biodiversity and evolutionary relationships in the Nepenthaceae plant family using DNA sequence data and bioinformatics tools. Please read and follow each section carefully.

By the end of this activity, you are expected to be able to:

• Explain the relationship among living organisms based on DNA sequence similarities from three given examples in the journal.
• Classify organisms according to the similarity of DNA sequences as presented in the journal, based on their level of relatedness.
• Analyze a phylogenetic tree derived from DNA data and logically infer the evolutionary relationships between the species.

Have fun exploring the world of biodiversity!
