Detailed explanation-1: -Which is the best description of the primary purpose of a phylogeny? Phylogenies show evolutionary relatedness between organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -A phylogenetic tree is a visual representation of the relationship between different organisms, showing the path through evolutionary time from a common ancestor to different descendants. Trees can represent relationships ranging from the entire history of life on earth, down to individuals in a population.
Detailed explanation-3: -In scientific terms, the evolutionary history and relationship of an organism or group of organisms is called phylogeny. Phylogeny describes the relationships of an organism, such as from which organisms it is thought to have evolved, to which species it is most closely related, and so forth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Phylogenetics is important because it enriches our understanding of how genes, genomes, species (and molecular sequences more generally) evolve.
