took the test

The correct option is (a) Phylogenetic classification uses genetics and ancestral relationships to classify organisms.

  • Phylogeny classifies species based on evolutionary kinship or evolutionary distance (taxonomy).
  • The degree and type of evolutionary distance between organisms determines their phylogenetic connection.
  • Let's define taxonomy in order to better comprehend this idea.

The connection between classification and phylogeny?

  • The study and comparison of traits as well as the comparison of groups of organisms are the foundations of both phylogeny and categorization.
  • However, there is a distinct feedback between character interpretation and inferred phylogeny, which is seen in the weighting of the characters used to construct the classification.
