Taxonomy
arrangement
Classification
naming
nomenclature
terminology of parts
Morphology
evidence for the relatedness of organisms involves studying molecules like DNA, RNA, and proteins.
molecular evidence
is a diagram that shows relationships between organisms based on characteristics.
cladogram
may also be based on physical characteristics but more commonly use genetic data to show the relationships between organisms.
Phylogenetic Tree
focuses on the diversity of organisms and how related these organisms are.
