Question

Which of the following is a limitation of the phylogenetic species concept?

Answer 1

Answer:

The limitation of phylogenetic species concept is b. Evolutionary histories are not known for all species.

Explanation:

The species that share a common ancestor and have similar traits and functions are grouped together as a result of the phylogenetic species concept. The phylogenetic species concept shows a unique evolutionary history of one organism with another of the same group. The major set back in the phylogenetic species concept is the lack of evolutionary histories for certain species. So, these organisms cannot be grouped according to the phylogenetic species concept.
