Answer 1

The correct option is C It is based on information from branches such as cytology, embryology etc in addition to morphology and phylogenetical characters.

Omega (Ω) taxonomy is the modern experimental taxonomy denoted by Epling, in which the taxonomic activities have been enriched with data from ecology, phytochemistry, phylogeography, cytogenetics, and physiology coupled with adequate computation. So, the correct answer is 'It is based on information from branches such as cytology, embryology etc in addition to morphology and phylogenetical characters'.
