Summary Introduction
Introduction: The evolutionary history between the organisms represents the similarities and changes in the body structure that took place from the past time until today. A high percentage of similarities between the organisms show the presence of a common ancestor.

The branch of systematic biology that assigns organisms to specificclassifications (domain, phyla, class, etc.) is calleda. phylogenetics.b. taxonomy.c. systematics.d. cladistics.
Phylogeny refers to the evolutionary descent of taxa. It refers to the relationship between ancestors and descendants and relationships among descendant taxa. It shows the lineage of taxa which can be summarized in a branching diagram called a phylogenetic tree.a. express some basic evolutionary relationships among groups of microorganisms, plants, and animals;
b. illustrate the relationship of organisms with their environment; and
c. analyze environmental factors contributing to biodiversity richness and loss
The traditional organization of the animal family tree of classification is based mostly ona. DNA sequences.b. protein structure.c. conserved anatomical characteristics.d. ribosome structure.
