Vedclass · Answer

(A) Cladistics is a method of classification that groups organisms based on shared derived characteristics (synapomorphies) that can be traced to a common ancestor. It focuses exclusively on evolutionary and genetic relationships,often ignoring superficial morphological similarities or differences that may arise due to convergent evolution. In contrast,phenetics classifies organisms based on overall morphological similarity,while classical systematics relies heavily on morphological traits. Therefore,the system described is known as cladistics.
