Question

Name and describe the three methods of classification used to construct a phylogenetic tree.

Answer 1

In evolutionary biology, phylogenetic trees are used to exhibit and illustrate the evolutionary relationships of two or more organisms, and identify the origins of life altogether. To achieve this, there are three methods of classification which are phonetics, cladistics, and taxonomic groups.

Answer 2

the person is correct but also if you want to write it yourself make sure to include:

The three methods are traditional, phenetic, and cladistic.

The traditional method stresses common ancestry and divergence.

The phenetic method is a process by which organisms are grouped together based on the number of similarities.

The cladistic method focuses on shared, derived characteristics not found in other groups.
