The correct answer is C. Genetic analysis

Explanation:

In biology, two organisms have a phylogenetic relationship if they share a common ancestor and therefore have genetic similarities although in most cases there are also similarities in morphology, physiology, etc. However, two organisms might have similarities in morphology and physiology without genetic similarities. Due to this, if you need to determine whether two species are related or not the best method is a genetic analysis as only those organisms that share a common ancestor (phylogenetic relationship) are genetically similar.

Explanation: This is a type of genetic inheritance where neither of the genes is dominant over another. Thus both pair of the gene are expressed on the same LOCUS equally with none masking another. Therefore an   individual receive both  allele of a heterozygous  gene, and have equal phenotypic expression

An example is the AB  blood group in man, where both allele present on the same locus are fully expressed with no one dominant over another.

Incomplete dominance refers to a blend of  alleles where one does  not have  full dominance over another another, therefore gives a new phenotypic expression different from both alleles.
