In evolutionary biology, phylogenetic trees are used to exhibit and illustrate the evolutionary relationships of two or more organisms, and identify the origins of life altogether. To achieve this, there are three methods of classification which are phonetics, cladistics, and taxonomic groups.

the person is correct but also if you want to write it yourself make sure to include:

The three methods are traditional, phenetic, and cladistic.

The traditional method stresses common ancestry and divergence.

The phenetic method is a process by which organisms are grouped together based on the number of similarities.

The cladistic method focuses on shared, derived characteristics not found in other groups.

Nitrogen is important

uranmaximum [27]

Plants and animals could not live without nitrogen. It is an important part of many cells and processes such as amino acids, proteins, and even our DNA. It is also needed to make chlorophyll in plants, which plants use in photosynthesis to make their food and energy.

Nitrogen is an important component of many essential structural, genetic and metabolic compounds in plant cells. It is also an elementary constituent of numerous important organic compounds including amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, enzymes, and the chlorophyll molecule.

Of all the essential nutrients, nitrogen is the one that is most often limiting for crop growth. Nitrogen is the nutrient which normally produces the greatest yield response in crop plants, promoting rapid vegetative growth and giving the plant a healthy green color.
