• The result of these analyses is a phylogeny, a diagrammatic hypothesis about the history of the evolutionary relationships of a group of organisms.
• Hence, Phylogenetic evolution refers to Genetic relationship and evolutionary sequence.
• So, the correct answer is 'Genetic relationship and evolutionary sequence'.
