Option 4 : Molecular phylogeny
The correct answer is Molecular phylogeny.
Explanation:
- Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a species or group.
- The changes in the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) during cell division lead to changes in the proteins that are made from this new DNA.
- These changes would accumulate from one generation to the next.
- Molecular phylogeny is used to trace the changes in DNA backwards in time.
- Molecular phylogeny approach is based on the idea that organisms are more distantly related will accumulate a greater number of differences in their DNA.
- This method is now extensively used to define evolutionary relationships.
