Q. Evolutionary history of an organism is known as

CMC MedicalCMC Medical 2012

Solution:

Phylogeny (Gr. phylon = tribe or race; geneia origin) is the origin and diversification of any taxon or the evolutionary history of its origin and diversification. It is usually represented as a diagrammatic phylogenetic tree (that traces putative evolutionary relationships), i.e., dendrogram. palaeontology is the study of fossils. Ontogeny is the whole course of an individuals development and life history.
