Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that the problem is asking about a tool used to show evolutionary relationships between species.
Recognize that a food web is a diagram that shows the feeding relationships between organisms in an ecosystem, not evolutionary relationships.
Identify that a Punnett square is a tool used in genetics to predict the probability of offspring inheriting particular traits, not for showing evolutionary relationships.
Note that the periodic table is a chart of the elements organized by atomic number and properties, and is unrelated to biological evolutionary relationships.
Conclude that a phylogenetic tree is the correct tool, as it is specifically designed to illustrate the evolutionary relationships among various biological species based on similarities and differences in their physical or genetic characteristics.
