- Phylogenetic divergence (Phyletic gradualism) (above) shows relatively slow changes during geologic epoch: the broken balance (below) illustrates morphological stability and...
- Phylogenesis refers to the evolutionary history of a species, while ontogenesis refers to the individual development of an organism from conception to adulthood.
- Studies of phylogenesis correspond to an analysis of individual or multiple characteristics and are often summarized in family trees.
- In summary, phylogenesis and ontogenesis are foundational concepts in biology that address different aspects of life's development and evolution.
- Phylogenesis (Phylogeny) – the evolutionary unfolding of a species. Phylogenesis is often coupled with and contrasted to Ontogenesis.
- The phylogeny meaning is somewhat similar to the term phylogenesis and as such, they are sometimes used interchangeably.
- - phylogenesis is “something like photosynthesis” (four out of ten people suggested so); - phylogenesis - mutation of living cells (two out of ten)
- Look at other dictionaries: Phylogenesis — Phy lo*gen e*sis, Phylogeny Phy*log e*ny, n. [Gr. ? tribe + E. genesis, or root of Gr. gi gnesqai to be born.]
- Phylogenesis, also known as phylogeny, refers to the evolutionary development and history of a species or group of organisms over time.
