B. Systematics is divided primarily into phylogenetics and taxonomy. Phylogenetics is the science of the pattern of evolution. A. Evolutionary biology is the study of the processes that generate diversity, while phylogenetics is the study of the pattern of diversity produced by those processes. Use evidence from shared characteristics, not differences 3. Use homologies, not analogies.
Cladistic classification creates and names taxa based only on synapomorphies.
This is the principle of monophyly. Cladistics is now the preferred approach to phylogeny. Explain the difference between classification and identification.
