Question 1
Phylogenetic system of classification is based on:
  • Floral characters
  • Evolutionary relationships✔️
  • Morphological features
  • Chemical constituents
Correct Answer Explanation
A phylogenetic (or cladistic) system of classification is based on evolutionary relationships among organisms, reflecting their common ancestry. It uses molecular data, fossil records, and comparative anatomy to construct evolutionary trees. Bentham and Hooker used a natural system based on morphology; Engler and Prantl used a phylogenetic approach.
