B) phenetics.
C) synapomorphy.
D) molecular systematics.
E) monophyletic grouping.
Molecular Systematics
The science that focuses on molecular structure to clarify evolutionary relationships.
Evolutionary History
The chronology of the development and diversification of organisms through geological time periods, determined through the study of fossils and genetic analyses.
Nucleotide Sequences
The arrangement of nucleotides in a strand of DNA or RNA, determining genetic information and its expression.
