Phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary history of organisms. Organisms have evolved from shared common ancestors through speciation and natural selection. The phylogentic tree shows us the degree of relatedness of organisms. The more recently a species diverged the more closely related they are as they still share genetic material and the organisms will look more similar eg. (humans and chimpanzees share 94% of genetic material). If the species diverged longer ago, the branches are further apart and they are more distantly related as share less similar genetic material as organisms have evolved over time.
Also molecular phylogenetics compares DNA and protein molecules to see how closely related the species are if these molecules are similar. They are compared by looking at the sequence of bases or hybridisation where two single strands of DNA are mixed forming hydrogen bonds between specific base pairs. The more hydrogen bonds that form means that the DNA is more similar.
diagrams that summarize our evolution of a group of species. Each line represents one lineage; each branch point (or node) represents a common ancestor. A dashed line means that we know something about the lineage but not exactly where it fits in the tree.
The tree diagram shows which species are more closely related to each other. In some versions, the lengths of the branches correspond to the length of time since divergence from the last common ancestor (the node, or point of joining, of two branches).

it can be shown with a cladogram

Phylogenetic trees represent hypotheses about the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms. A phylogenetic tree may be built using morphological (body shape), biochemical, behavioral, or molecular features of species or other groups.
yes
scientists can infer how closely related the organisms are in an evolutionary sense
Taxonomy is the science of naming and classifying organisms. It is done by looking at shared characteristics, such as morphological characters, against the background of biological diversity. It also takes phylogenetic relationships and DNA evidence into account.A phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a species or group of species. They separate organisms by evolutionary relationships (clades), based on comparative cytology and the comparison of DNA, morphological characters, and shared ancestral and derived characters.
Is a biologist who studies the kind and diversity of organisms and any and all relationships among them.
evolutionary
The study of the diversity of organisms and the relationships among them.
No
phylogeny
I think you mean phylogeny. Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a species or group of related species.
Phylogenetic trees represent hypotheses about the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms. A phylogenetic tree may be built using morphological (body shape), biochemical, behavioral, or molecular features of species or other groups.
it is studied as ecology. relationships are responses, mineralisation, locomotion etc to the environment
yes

Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a particular group of organisms or their genes. Phylogeny can be represented in a phylogenetic tree which graphically represents the lines of descent among organisms or their genes. Learn more at 23andme.com.
