Answer the following questions below:1. Is cladistics the same as phylogeny? Justify your answer. 2. How is cladistics different from taxonomy? 3. Give at least 2 disadvantages of polyclave keys and briefly explain each.
For novice biologists, taxonomy and phylogenetics are difficult concepts to understand and keep separate. This confusion is made worse because modern taxonomic methods make use of molecular tools. Write an essay that contrasts taxonomy to phylogenetics and explain how both disciplines are important to our understanding of species and evolution. Your essay should include a description of taxonomy and phylogenetics, as well as a detailed explanation about how information is represented in a phylogenetic tree or a cladogram.

(d) Did the researchers employ a combination of morphological and molecular data to determine evolutionary relationships of organisms?
1. Define and explain taxonomy. List the major taxonomic levels from most general to most specific. 2. Define and explain binomial nomenclature. 3. Explain the difference between Lamarck's Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics and Darwin's Natural Selection. Provide an example in your explanation.
