Phylogenetic system of classification is also known as

Mr. NARESH KUMAR K · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: [B]
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Phylogenetic classification systems
	**Related Topics**: Biological classification, Taxonomy, Evolutionary relationships
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of different classification systems in biology
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	The question asks for the alternative name of the phylogenetic system of classification.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Recall the definition of phylogenetic classification: This system classifies organisms based on their evolutionary relationships.
    Reasoning: Phylogenetic classification is based on evolutionary relationships, which is how Hutchinson's system is derived.
    Formula/Rule: N/A
	2. Identify the classification system that is based on evolutionary relationships
	   Working:  Hutchinson's system is a phylogenetic system.
	   Key Point: Hutchinson's classification is based on phylogeny.
	3. Select the correct option.
	    Result: The correct option is B
	    Verification: By definition, phylogenetic classification is also known as Hutchinson’s system of classification.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Artificial classification is based on easily observable characteristics, not evolutionary relationships.
[B] ✓: Hutchinson's system is based on evolutionary relationships, making it a phylogenetic system.
[C] :x: Natural classification uses multiple traits but not necessarily evolutionary history.
[D] :x: Whittaker system of classification is based on cell structure, body organization, and mode of nutrition, not specifically phylogeny.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1.[Error 1]: Confusing phylogenetic classification with natural or artificial systems.  [How to avoid]: Memorize the key feature of each system: Artificial (observable characteristics), Natural (overall similarities), Phylogenetic (evolutionary relationships).
		2.[Error 2]: Assuming all scientific classification systems are based on evolutionary history. [How to avoid]:  Understand the historical context, some older systems were based on observed traits rather than evolutionary relationships.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1.[Helpful shortcut]: Remember that 'phylo' refers to evolutionary relationships.
		2.[Memory aid]: Associate Hutchinson with phylogeny.
