Phylogeny
Explanation:
Slow gradual change in traits over time is not the cause of problems when using morphological characteristics to construct a phylogeny
- Phylogeny is simply the evolutionary history of species,it enriches the understanding that how genes, genomes, species evolve
- Slow gradual change in traits helps in studying the morphological characteristics of species easily
- If there is a rapid evolution during adaptive radiation then it will be difficult to study the evolutionary history and pattern of species
- Convergence is common in nature and is the similarity between characters due to external conditions such as same environment and not due to same origin and thus a cause of problems in constructing a phylogeny
- Lack of shared characteristics among taxa creates a problem in constructing a phylogeny because lack of shared derived traits in present-day species do not infer the branching pattern of their evolutionary history
