Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While DNA barcoding is a powerful tool for identifying and distinguishing species, it is not a guaranteed method of determining an organism's taxonomic group as it only provides information on a specific DNA sequence used as a barcode marker. Depending on the species and their genetic variability, this sequence may not always be sufficient for conclusive taxonomic identification. Other methods such as morphological examination and comparison to reference specimens may also be necessary in some cases.
