Which statement correctly explains the relationship between taxonomic categories and phylogenetic classification?
Taxonomic categories are arbitrary and have no relationship to phylogeny.
Taxonomic categories always perfectly match the branching patterns of phylogenetic trees.
Taxonomic categories ideally reflect evolutionary relationships revealed through phylogenetic analysis.
Phylogenetic analysis is used to create taxonomic categories, but they don't necessarily reflect evolutionary relationships.
Why hierarchiral taxonomic system is used?
As each higher taxonomic category contains it is below groups/categories
It is helpful to established classifications
All taxonomic categories reflect common habitats
Taxonomic group shows similar characters and have no evolutionary relationship
Statement 1: There are seven obligate categories in hierarchy of taxonomyStatement 2: Other categories of similar type can be called as intermediate categories
Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1
Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1
Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False
Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True
