The study of phylogeny rests on our observation of characters of organisms, which may include all of the following EXCEPT

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Linnaean taxonomy is a classification system that has been largely superseded by phylogenetic classification systems. While it may provide information about the relationships between organisms, it is not a direct observation of characters and does not contribute to the study of phylogeny in the same way as anatomical features, developmental processes, and DNA sequences.
