Solution

Phylogeny :

  1. The phylogeny of Calvin cycle enzymes is the evolutionary development and history of a species or attribute of a species or of a higher taxonomic grouping of organisms.
  2. Phylogenesis is another name for this process.

Taxonomy includes phylogeny as the basis for the classification of organisms:

  1. Phylogeny is the basis for current taxonomic categorization.
  2. The science of classification is taxonomy, while the study of evolutionary connections between species is phylogeny.
  3. Organisms were formerly classed only based on their appearance and physical traits.
  4. Following Charles Darwin's work on natural selection, taxonomy research shifted to a more evolution-based approach.
  5. A phylogenetic tree depicts an organism's evolution and past ancestors.
  6. Paleontology, comparative anatomy, comparative embryology, and molecular genetics provide evidence for phylogeny.
