Established Historical Relationships Between Organisms are Known as A

Question

Established historical relationships between organisms are known as a:
A) Phylogeny
B) Genealogy
C) Genomics
D) Proteomics
E) None of these

Accepted Answer

Phylogeny is the study of the evolutionary history and relationships among organisms, including both living and extinct species. It is based on similarities and differences in genetic, morphological, and biochemical characteristics. Genealogy refers specifically to the study of the ancestry or family relationships of individuals, and is not generally used in the context of evolutionary history. Genomics and proteomics are related to the study of genes and proteins, respectively, but do not necessarily involve the analysis of historical relationships between organisms.
