How can evolutionary relationships be used to classify organisms?
how has genetic material been used to determine evolutionary relationships?

1). Under Classifying Life, click Launch Interactive. Scientists use a tool called a phylogenetic tree to show the evolutionary pathways and relationships between organisms. A phylogenetic tree is a diagram used to reflect evolutionary relationships among organisms or groups of organisms.

2). Sometimes referred to as DNA-DNA hybridization, this process hybridizes the genetic information from two different organisms to determine similarities between them. Scientists separate strands of DNA from both species using heat, which breaks the bonds between the base pairs that link the two sides of the double helix.
