EVOLUTION_2

It is the classification of biological diversity through the use of shared ancestry.

• Taxonomy

• Systematics

• Phylogenetics

• Classification

It is a system of organizing things based on shared characteristics.

• Taxonomy

• Systematics

• Phylogenetics

• Classification

The study of biological diversity in an environmental context, encompassing taxonomy and involving the reconstruction of phylogenetic history.

• Classification

It is also known as similarity method.

• Distance Method

• Maximum Parsimony 

• Maximum Likelihood

• Bayesian Probability 

This is based on Bayes Theorem and uses a model of evolution to compute the probability of a particular tree given the data.

• Distance Method

• Maximum Parsimony 

• Maximum Likelihood

• Bayesian Probability 

In this case, trees are compared directly.

• Distance Method

• Maximum Parsimony 

• Maximum Likelihood

• Bayesian Probability 

It is a type of search performed by artificial intelligence (AI) that looks to find a good solution, not necessarily a perfect one, out of the available options. 

• Heuristic Search

• Maximum Parsimony 

• Maximum Likelihood

• Bayesian Probability 

This method uses a model of evolution to calculate the likelihood of the data given a particular tree

• Heuristic Search

• Maximum Parsimony 

• Maximum Likelihood

• Bayesian Probability 

It is the ability to measure time by measuring change to a DNA or protein sequence.

• Heuristic Search

• Homoplasy

• Molecular Clocks

• Taxon

It is a character shared by a set of species but not present in their common ancestor
